How much funding we offer and for how long

Two levels of funding we offer

We offer different amounts of funding depending on what you want to do. We split our funding into two levels:

• funding under £20,000: for smaller amounts of funding and smaller organisations
• funding over £20,001: for bigger amounts of funding and larger organisations

Usually, the more funding you apply for, the longer it takes for you to prepare your application and for us to assess it. But you can get a better idea of how long it’s likely to take by looking at the different ways we offer funding by looking at our programmes.

How long we can fund you for

If you’re awarded less than £20,001 of funding, you’ll have around 12 months to finish your project from the date you tell us it will start.

Projects that cost more than £20,001 can generally run from one to five years, although this can vary depending on what programme you apply to.
