How to ApplyOrganisation and School Grant Applications
To apply, please read the guidance for work in schools OR guidance for organisations working in the community. You will be able to book an appointment to discuss your proposal during the appropriate expression of interest round. Our grant-making priorities are being reviewed and new priorities will be launched by January 2024. The next verbal expression of interest round will then be opened from the 22nd of January 2024 for two weeks. Bookings can be made via our website from the 15th of January 2024. These short meetings will be held via Microsoft Teams. Please note this round will be for projects taking place in schools and in the community. Projects taking place in schools should be planned for the 24/25 academic year. During the expression of interest meeting you will be asked to outline a brief project plan, estimated cost, the number of low-income Lambeth residents you aim to work with and what you hope to achieve. The most fitting project outlines will be invited to make a full application.
If your proposal fits our criteria and priorities we will email you an application form. You will typically have four weeks to complete the application form. We want our grant process to be as inclusive and accessible as possible and we are happy to discuss any accessibility adjustments you may need to complete the grant application. Once we've received the application, our Grants Team can spend time with you to clarify any areas that are unclear and help ensure that your application fits with Governor priorities. You will be notified of the grant decision within three days of the relevant Grant Decision date. For reference, the average success rate for an Expression of Interest successfully moving onto the written application stage is 55%. Our average approval rate for applicants that have completed a written application is 77%. Please note, if you complete a full written grant application and it is 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. If you are unhappy with the service given by the Grants Team or the decision made, please refer to our Complaints Procedure. Grant decisions over £40,000 are approved by the Board. The Director has delegated approval power for grants £40,000 and under. For reference, the Standard Grant Conditions made to successful grantees can be found on our website. Additional project/organisation-specific conditions may be added as necessary . Our Work and FocusWe exist exclusively for the benefit of Lambeth individuals from low-income households. Our grants to organisations and schools are solely a means of reaching those individuals.
