Commonwealth Foundation Grants

(Deadline: 4 Times Per Year, Next Deadline is December 31)
The Commonwealth Foundation helps people from developing Commonwealth countries learn from each other by providing grants to non-governmental organisations – including faith based organisations, community based organisations, research, labour and cultural organisations – working in areas of governance, development and culture. The Foundation’s responsive grants enable people from developing Commonwealth countries to participate in activities involving international or intercultural exchange, such as: short training courses, workshops, seminars, conferences, cultural festivals, exchanges and study visits in other Commonwealth countries. Grants are up to £10,000, though the average size is about £5,000. Applications are processed four times a year. There are four deadlines for applications: 31 March, 30 June, 30 September, and 31 December. http://www.commonwealthfoundation.com/about/grantseekers/
