The closing date to apply for our final round of funding has passed. This fund was set up by the Emergence Foundation in order to support small organisations and individuals to further the Foundation’s objectives. Through six rounds between 2018 and 2022 we will have distributed close to 100 small grants.
Funding Objectives
Emergence Foundation wishes to support those whose creative passion and purpose is to give something of themselves in order to make the world a better place. The aims & intended outcomes of our funding are intentionally broad to allow for the many different ways this depth of purpose might be expressed, but in general we are awarding grants to projects that we think are aligned in some way with the purpose and objects of our charity.
Application Process
Our grant application process is divided into two phases: the expression of interest phase and the full application phase. The criteria we use to determine eligibility and the process & timeline we use to select projects for funding are outlined in detail in the pages that follow.
