Awards of £500 to £10,000 are made 3 times a year (with the average award around £2,000). Larger grants can be awarded if the project is felt to be particularly innovative and imaginative and has strong artistic or scientific content.

Grants of up to £10,000 for Science and the Arts Projects (North West of England)
Organisations (preferably with charitable status) based in the north-west of England are invited to submit imaginative proposals for projects that encourage and promote the study, practice and appreciation of science and the arts. This can include drawing, architecture and landscape architecture, sculpture, literature, music, opera, drama, dance, cinema and the methods and means of their dissemination.
The Granada Foundation aims to make the northwest of England region (including Cheshire Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Merseyside, and Cumbria) a richer and more attractive place to live and work.
Awards are unlikely to cover 100% of project costs. Previous awards have been made to support a wide range of projects and have included, for example:
- The Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths Network (STEMNET) received a grant of £4,000 to purchase STEM Club boxes for use in after school science clubs across the region.
- Blackburn Cathedral Trust received £2,000 for a Music Outreach project.
Organisations wishing to apply, please email brief details in the first instance to enquiries@granadafoundation.org If the project meets the funding criteria a full application pack will be sent by email.
The deadline for submission of full applications is the 18th October 2024.
