Grant News

Applications are invited from registered not-for-profit civil society organisations from eligible Commonwealth Member States for the latest round of the Commonwealth Foundation Grants Programme.

Grants of between £15,000 and £30,000 are available per year for up to two years for civil society projects that encourage engagement between civil society and government around policy and decision-making relevant to three themes:

• health
• environment and climate change
• freedom of expression

This could include, for example:

• advocating for universal health coverage
• developing, reviewing and improving laws, policies and practices aimed at addressing environmental and climate threats
• advocating for a legal and regulatory environment that protects and upholds freedom of expression for all

UK organisations are eligible to participate in this call for proposals but are ineligible to apply as lead applicants.

The deadline for applications is 1pm on the 23rd October 2025.
