Grants to organisations and schools

How to Apply

Picture
We have recently published some news about our plans for grant giving in 2026. Please do take a look.

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 full details as soon as possible. 

Before applying, we recommend that you have read our guidance notes for organisations and our strategic plan. We are looking for partners where our vision and values align. 

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!     

Notes on our grant making for reference:
​

- Last year the average success rate for an expression of interest successfully moving onto full application stage was 41%.  Our average grant approval rate for applicants that completed a full written application was 48%.
- if you are selected to complete a full application and this application is then unsuccessful, you will need to wait 12 months from when you initially applied (the date of your expression of interest) before you can apply again. 
​- the 
Standard Grant Conditions made to successful grantees are linked to here.  
​- Decisions on grants over £40,000 (per year) are approved by our Trustees.  The Walcot Executive Director has delegated approval power for grants of £40,000 (per year) and under.

- If you are unhappy with the service given by the Grants Team or the decision made, please refer to our Complaints Procedure.
Educational Field Trip Grants

Our Educational Field Trip grants programme is currently closed. We will open again in early 2026.
