Deadline: 30-Sep-2025
If you are a UK-based individual or not-for-profit organisation looking for ‘seed funding’ to kick start things on a project or service aimed at advancing women’s lives for the better, then this ‘quickie’ grant could be for you!
The “£1000 for 1000 Words” grant celebrates the power of storytelling as a tool for empowerment and change. This grant offers financial support to individuals who can express meaningful experiences, insights, and ideas through compelling written narratives. The format highlights the value of personal voice and creative expression in amplifying the perspectives of women and girls.
Applicants are invited to submit original writing that reflects their unique viewpoint, passions, or causes that matter to them. The storytelling featured through this grant has the potential to inspire community conversations, foster empathy, and bring attention to diverse experiences that often go unheard.
Please note that this funding round will focus preferentially on supporting projects, initiatives, or services for women and girls in business and in STEM—science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. While applications from other areas are also welcome, preference will be given to those in the focus fields if demand for funding exceeds the resources available.
Applicants can apply for funding of £1000. This grant initiative underscores the belief that words can transform and that storytelling is a powerful medium for advocating gender equity and amplifying authentic voices. Through supporting these written expressions, the foundation helps cultivate confidence and visibility, ensuring that impactful narratives gain the attention they deserve.
