Deadline: 12 December 2024
The Community Foundation Wales is now requesting applications for its Wales in London Philanthropic Fund to create in the spirit of the core purpose of the Wales in London organisation, which is to provide a bridge between Wales and London – and indeed further afield.
It supports enterprising students and people at the beginning of their careers to achieve their ambitions. For example, it will support costs associated with being a student, scholarships, business bursaries, work experience/career development.
It is expected that successful applicants will pledge to ‘give back’, now or in the future, to the Wales in London Philanthropic Fund or indeed to society more generally. For example, giving pro bono support, charitable donations, fundraising activities, volunteering etc, as forms of philanthropic giving. Successful applicants may be invited to attend and present at Community Foundation Wales or Wales in London events within the year following receipt of funding, to update the donors on how the grant has contributed towards their development. Community Foundation Wales will also expect a monitoring report and would greatly appreciate updates from beneficiaries so they can gauge the longer-term impact of their grants.

Eligibility Criteria
- Young people who were born and/or educated in Wales, for whom a scholarship/bursary will enable them to develop their education, learning, business and career skills, and will broaden their horizons in London or outside Wales.
