Applying for a grant

To be eligible to apply for a grant from Didymus, you must be:

• A UK registered charity for 3 years, have lodged two sets of accounts with the Charity Commission, and have previously been successful in receiving funds from Didymus.
• Applying for work based in England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Africa or Central and South America
• Applying for work that fulfils ones of our five goals
• Applying for £5,000 or less

Please note that there is no guarantee of repeat funding and applicants are not usually considered if they have received three previous awards.  We will only consider one application per grant round.

Our grant-making policy outlines our full eligibility criteria and application, monitoring and auditing policies. Please read it in full before you apply.

The policy is in PDF format, so you will need Adobe Reader which can be downloaded for free here.
