It is our goal to provide a contribution to allow groups to engage in their chosen task, develop or expand existing projects, or provide a basis from which to apply for further project funding. Individual grants will be £20-200 in UK / $25-250 in US per month, paid monthly. All support will be reviewed after a 12-month period. We accept applications for core funding all year round however, we only take on any new recipients in February and September. The deadlines for each of these are therefore the end of January and the end of August respectively.
