Good to know

Funding Rounds only apply to our Grants for Growth funding stream. For Seed Grants and Grass Roots Grants we accept applications throughout the year and they are considered monthly.

For Grants for Growth you can, if you wish, apply at any time during the year if you are ready to do so. Your application can be looked over by the Grants Committee to check its eligibility and to clarify any information they require. However, your application will not be considered for an award until the Appraisal Panel of the Funding Round in effect when your application was finalised. Therefore, if you submit an application after the closing date of one Funding Round you will need to be prepared to wait until after the next Round closes before your application is appraised.
