Grants to organisations and schools
Our grants to organisations and schools are a means of helping the individuals we exist to serve
How to Apply |
Currently we are not accepting applications from organisations or schools.
We will next be taking expressions of interest (EOIs) in autumn 2025. Please check back closer to the time for the exact dates and sign up to our newsletter for reminders.
If you are interested in working with the Walcot Foundation in future we recommend you read our guidance notes for schools or guidance notes for organisations. Proposals that fit best with our strategic plan and grant making priorities are considered during two open grant rounds each year, in the spring and in the autumn.

For reference:
- Last year the average success rate for an expression of interest successfully moving onto the written 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 written grant 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.
- Our application form questions can be found here.
- the Standard Grant Conditions made to successful grantees can be found on our website. Additional project/organisation-specific conditions may be added as necessary.
- Grant decisions over £40,000 per year are approved by the Board. The Director has delegated approval power for grants £40,000 and under.
- If you are unhappy with the service given by the Grants Team or the decision made, please refer to our Complaints Procedure.
