Mudiad Meithrin
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Most of this funder's grants are for specific resources, equipment or projects, not salaries or rent, so a request for running costs is unlikely to fit.
- Its stated grant themes are emergency support for settings that cannot draw on any other source of support, and grants to set up or re-establish Ti a Fi groups, so a Welsh-medium setting in one of those situations has the clearest case.
- The annual report and register give no application process, and its website shows only a contact for getting in touch, so the sensible first step is a short enquiry before writing a full application.
- Its annual report and website do not give a grant range, a typical grant size or any measure of how competitive funding is, so ask the contact about these before setting a budget.
- Settings seeking salary or rent support should look elsewhere.
