All Funding

Nesta have set up the Policy and Research Bright Ideas Research Fund to provide small grants to develop interesting research projects and policy proposals in fields that relate to innovation.

Nesta hope that the fund will lead to interesting insights in its own right, and perhaps in due course to some larger research projects.

Nesta plan to fund a small number of projects over the course of the financial year 2014-15. You can apply for the fund any time during the year and applications will be reviewed batches.

The GC Gibson Charitable Trust invite submissions from small charities for innovative UK based education and activity programmes for disadvantaged young people. The Trust have scope to award about 10 grants of £2000. The application window will close sometime in September when they are full.

Application is only online

The Trust prefer smaller charities where the impact of their money will not get lost and will influence the lives of many.
