In 2026 we will be changing to quarterly application windows for our charity/group applications.
Quarterly application windows will offer significant benefits for both our grant-seeking charities/groups and for us as funders by providing a structured, predictable process that allows for better planning and more efficient review cycles.
In Quarter 1 we are open for applications from 1st – 31st January, when applications can be submitted at any point.
The Q1 applications will be processed by our grants team during February and reviewed/decided by our trustee panel in the first part of March. Decisions on the applications will be communicated in the last half of March, with payments to follow in early April.
The application windows for the rest of 2026 are:
Quarter 2
Open for applications 1st – 30th April
Decisions in the last half of June
Quarter 3
Open for applications 1st – 31st July
Decisions in the last half of September
Quarter 4
Open for applications 1st – 31st October
Decisions in the last half of December
