Deadline: 7-May-21
The Ragdoll Foundation has launched a call for applications for the Small Grants Programme to support the cultural sector’s work with children and young people.
The Ragdoll Foundation is dedicated to supporting the creation, appreciation and awareness of imaginative and innovative work that reflects the world from a child’s point of view.
The primary purpose is to make grants for charitable purposes that:
- Demonstrate how the concerns of children can be heard through high quality arts engagement projects that put the child’s or young person’s voice at the centre
- Evidence the power of arts and creativity and their transformative power for children and young people
- Promote children’s development through their imaginative thinking
- Promote equality of access to the arts and creative experiences
- Encourage innovative thinking and influence good practice
- Ensure effective evaluation of projects to promote sharing and learning
Funding Information
- Maximum grant available £1,500 for projects costing up to £3,000
- Short duration – up to 6 months
Eligibility Criteria
- The Ragdoll Foundation accepts applications from not-for-profit organisations based in the UK. They will only fund work that is legally charitable. Organisations that are not registered charities will need to provide a copy of their constitution showing charitable or social purpose. Organisations must be able to provide a full year of accounts.
- As their focus is on funding work that actively involves children and young people, all applicants must have a Safeguarding / Child Protection policy that is regularly reviewed, and be able to demonstrate that adequate processes are in place to ensure the safeguarding of children and young people. If your project will be delivered remotely, your safeguarding policy must reference online safety.
