Grant Seekers Guidelines
The Foundation's responsive grants enable people from developing Commonwealth countries to participate in activities such as short training courses, workshops, seminars, conferences, cultural festivals, exchanges and study visits in other Commonwealth countries.
In particular, the Foundation targets activities that strengthen the capacity of civil society organisations in areas of work that overlap with the Foundation's programme areas.
All grant applications must relate to the Foundation's mission and priority areas of interest. Information about funding criteria is available in our Grant Guidelines, which set out what activities the Foundation does and does not support, what the current priority areas of the responsive grants programme are and how to apply for a grant. You can view the overview and guidelines through the navigation bar on the left of the website, or in the Word document below.
The standard application form should be completed by all grant applicants. It can be completed online following the link below; or using the Word document below.
Word documents can be submitted by email to geninfo@commonwealth.int; or by post to Grant Applications, Commonwealth Foundation, Marlborough House, Pall Mall, London, SW1Y 5HY, UK.
There is a supplementary application form for organisations applying for grants for voter education activities. It can be completed online once the standard application has been completed (you will be prompted to follow the link); or in a Word document, which should be submitted together with the standard application form to geninfo@commonwealth.int.
