Stephen Lawrence Day Foundation
Key takeaways
- If your work supports marginalised young people or equity and inclusion in the UK, the foundation's stated priority area, it is worth a look, particularly if you run grassroots arts or youth-led social action, which its community microgrants cover.
- Its annual report gives no typical grant size or range, so keep an early request modest and ask its contact about size before you write a full proposal.
- No application process is published, so start by getting in touch through its website rather than assuming there is a form.
- Its scholarships and bursaries are open to individual young people from underrepresented backgrounds, so a project aimed at those places is not what it is set up to fund.
