If you submitted a concept note before the deadline, you will be given feedback and if selected, will be invited to submit a full application by the beginning of August.

Successful applicants may expect to receive funding after November of the year they apply.

HOW MUCH FUNDING CAN I APPLY FOR?

Continuation Funding is offered for projects of one or two years, and up to a maximum of £100,000 (based on need).

HOW DO I APPLY?

       1. Check your eligibility

You are eligible to apply only if you have previously won a Whitley Award and successfully completed your grant (final report submitted, and grant closed by WFN).

WFN Associate Award and Runner-Up prize winners are not eligible for Continuation Funding and should consider applying for a Whitley Award instead.

       3. Submit your application

You will need to submit a brief concept note to WFN via our online application form. Please get in touch to request instructions for this if needed.
