Deadline: 30 September 2020
Applications are now open for the Daiwa Foundation Awards 2020.
Award Information
- Awards of £7,000-£15,000 are available for collaborative projects that enable British and Japanese partners to work together in the context of an institutional relationship.
- In order to fund as many applications as possibly can, given limited budget, they typically award an average of £7,000 to successful Award applications. Their funding rarely covers an application’s budget in full, but is meant to be a “contribution” to the proposed project.
Eligible Projects
- Daiwa Foundation Awards can cover projects in academic, professional, arts, cultural and educational fields.
- Awards seek to encourage the development and sustainability of UK-Japan partnerships between such organisations as museums and art galleries, theatres and performing arts groups, schools and universities, and grassroots and professional bodies.
- Any project which involves a significant level of collaboration between British and Japanese partners can be considered.
Ineligible Projects
Daiwa Foundation Awards cannot be used for:
- any project that does not involve both a British and a Japanese partner
- general appeals
- capital expenditure (eg, building refurbishment, equipment acquisition, etc)
- school, college or university fees
- research or study by an individual school/college/university student
