Every year, the Common Wealth Foundation offers grants of up to £30,000 for projects lasting up to two years to civil society organisations. 

The Foundation supports projects that facilitate meaningful engagement between civil society and decision-makers.  In the past, those projects have included everything from supporting young Kenyan women with disabilities to influencing healthcare policy to building a youth-led citizen journalism network in Pakistan. 

Because the application process consists of multiple components and you may have questions during the application process, we encourage you to start as early as possible.

Funding priorities:

• Health Justice
• Freedom of Expression
• Climate Justice
