The Commonwealth Foundation will be undergoing a comprehensive review of its Grants Programme over the next 8 months, and will launch a refreshed and revitalised programme in July 2012. To enable us to undertake the review there will be some changes to our grants activities during this period.
Our civil society responsive grants are designed to promote international or intercultural exchange, co-operation and sharing of skills, knowledge and ideas between people from developing Commonwealth countries.
Hundreds of non-governmental organisations around the Commonwealth benefit from our responsive grants. We award funding of up to £12,500, although the average award is about £5,000. In exceptional cases, we can award grants of up to £25,000.
They support activities such as short training courses, workshops, conferences, festivals, study visits or voter education activities.
