Grant Seekers Guidelines
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.
In particular, the Foundation targets activities that strengthen the capacity of civil society organisations and that relate to the Foundation's mission and programme areas.
Our Grant Guidelines set out what activities the Foundation does and does not support, what the current priority areas of the responsive grants programme are and how to apply for a grant. You can view the overview and guidelines through the navigation bar on the left of the website, or in the Word document below.
The standard application form should be completed by all grant applicants. There are three ways to submit an application to the Foundation:
1. Downloading the application form on the website and submitting it together with supplementary information required by email to geninfo@commonwealth.int.
2. Downloading the application form from the website and submitting it by post to the following address:
