Page 2 - Are you eligible to apply?

Please read our programme guidance before completing this section of the form. We have very specific criteria, and will not consider projects that fall outside them. In addition, we usually only fund work that complements other projects in our portfolio, rather than funding several projects doing similar things. You can find out what we are currently funding by checking the grants list in the “What We Do” section of our website, and ring us if you think your project might fit one of our priorities but are not sure.

This form is not intended for enquiries about social investment. If you wish to apply for social investment support, please read the guidance about the type of work we support and then send us an email with brief details of your project and the type of support you are seeking.

Under this programme we do not fund organisations based outside Birmingham

Are you seeking funding to support direct work with individuals?

Direct services to individuals are not eligible for funding under this programme.

Does the work for which you are seeking funding provide an alternative to the dominant economic model?

Under this strand of our programme your work is not eligible.
