Deadline: 31 March 2025
The Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation is now inviting applications for its Small Grants programme to promote and support interaction between the two countries.
Funding Information
- Grants of £2,000-£9,000 are available to individuals, societies, associations or other bodies in the UK or Japan.
- In order to fund as many applications as they possibly can, given their limited budget, they typically award in the region of £3,000 to £4,000 to successful Small Grant applications. Their funding rarely covers an application’s budget in full, but is meant to be a “contribution” to the proposed project.
Eligible Projects
- Daiwa Foundation Small Grants can cover all fields of activity, including educational and grassroots exchanges, research travel, the organisation of conferences, exhibitions, and other projects and events that fulfil this broad objective.
- New initiatives are especially encouraged.
- The Foundation is unlikely to fund continuing events or those that take place on a regular basis unless there is a strong reason/need or unless it is for a special occasion.
Ineligible Projects and Costs
- Daiwa Foundation Small Grants cannot be used for:
- General appeals
- Capital expenditure (eg, building refurbishment, equipment acquisition, etc)
- Consumables (eg, stationery, scientific supplies, etc)
- School, college or university fees
- Research or study by an individual school/college/university student
- Salary costs or professional fees
- Commissions for works of art
- Retrospective grants
- Replacement of statutory funding

How to Apply?
