Deadline: 31-May-2024
The Lipman-Miliband Trust is currently accepting applications for its Grant Programme.
Aims
- The Lipman-Miliband Trust exists to fund:
- “Study and research into socialist ideas and practice and other allied fields and the dissemination of the results thereof to the public, and educational activities that raise public awareness and understanding of struggles and movements for peace, human rights and co-operation and a more equal, diverse, cooperative and democratic society.”
- They have a broad interpretation of these aims but they are at the heart of what they do. All applications must demonstrate how the project furthers these aims.
Funding Information
- You can apply for any amount up to and including £3,000.
What they Fund?
- Entire projects.
- Small parts of bigger projects.
- Projects that will have a wide outreach and will contribute to transformative change.
- Projects that demonstrate clear engagement with their proposed audiences and that promote active outcomes.
What they do not Fund?
- Any element of undergraduate or postgraduate studies or research e.g. tuition fees, costs of carrying out research for an assignment or dissertation or living costs while studying.
- Projects focused primarily on service provision rather than educational activities. For example, an application by a foodbank or homelessness charity where the main focus is providing support to service users, rather than carrying out educational activities related to the aims. They appreciate that in some cases these things can be linked and encourage you to contact them ahead of applying if you’re unsure about which category your project falls into.
- Projects connected to political parties, or with party political aims; or projects that do not adhere to Charity Commission guidance on campaigning and political activity.
- Retrospective costs (i.e. applications cannot be made for expenditure that has already occurred or will occur before the grant is received).
Eligibility Criteria
- Organisations of any structure (e.g. charity, community interest company, limited company, unincorporated association etc., grassroots group etc.).
- Individuals.
Ineligible
- Organisations/individuals based outside of the UK.
- Organisations or individuals who have received a grant from the Trust in the last two years.
