• Only projects that can demonstrate a need for financial support will be considered. 

• We take a positive view of new, unconventional plans and projects that embrace diversity both internally and externally. 

• Each organisation can receive a grant no more than once a year. A new application must be submitted each year for similar, recurring events.
