There will only be one open grant round in 2026, which is opening at the end of March. It is open to both community organisations and schools supporting children and families in Lambeth.
Applications open on Monday 30th March.
How to apply
Initially you will need to book a 15-minute Expression of Interest (EOI) video call with a member of the Grants team.
This will be an opportunity for you to tell us about your organisation, what it is you wish to work with the Walcot Foundation on, and how much funding you may require.
This is an informal discussion so no need to prepare a presentation.
Changes to Grant making
Following our grants review in early 2026, we are changing the way we make grants. Please take a look at our recent blog for more information.
We will no longer be focused on a set of fixed grant making ‘priorities’ and are instead seeking partners whose vision and values align with those of the Walcot Foundation. Please take a look at our 5-year strategic plan for more information on our direction of travel.
We will update the website with further details of our new grant streams, criteria and application process prior to Monday 30th March.
Timings
Talk to us
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 could 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!
