How to Apply |
Our next grant round will open in spring 2026. This round will be for both community groups and schools. We will update our website and send out a newsletter with more details in the new year.
Before applying, we recommend that you have read our guidance notes for organisations, our strategic plan, and note our current grant-making priorities.
Outside of our grant-making cycle, if you haven’t worked with the Walcot Foundation before (or even if you have!), we would love to have a conversation about what's going on for you in Lambeth right now and how Walcot can help.
Please do reach out to us and book a call or a catch-up. We are committed to supporting our community and school partners in a range of new ways in the coming years, and we are excited to share more details and take feedback as soon as we can!
