Our Friday website article is dedicated to listing national grant programmes with an application deadline over the next couple of weeks. All of the schemes summarised below are featured in detail in the daily grants bulletin we send out at 8.30 each weekday morning throughout the year.
The following list covers the period Monday 24th February to Sunday 9th March 2025. As this listing includes the end of a month, there are proportionately more programmes with an application deadline than mid-month lists.
If you click on the title of each grant scheme, it should take you directly to the grant programme in question. A free 2-week trial of the daily grants bulletin is available for anyone who would like to try it out. Simply email GRIN at info@grin.coop with ‘Free 2-week trial’ as the subject heading and you’ll receive the bulletin the following morning.
