This is the online application form for the Fellowship Fund Development Grants.
The Fellowship Fund 2026 will support community-led cultural and creative programmes which celebrate our diverse but shared histories, experiences and futures. Grants will be awarded to VCS (Voluntary and Community sector) organisations and groups for activities taking place in Waltham Forest from May 2026 – March 2027. The scheme aims to support community cohesion across the borough.
The Development Grants are designed to help form new collaborations. These grants are intended to support research, development and scoping. There is no requirement to deliver programming activities, although proposals may include pilot events and activities if relevant.
