TIMELINE

We are now accepting concept notes for 2024 Continuation Funding from Whitley Award alumni. The deadline for submissions is June 14th. Follow our social media for updates.

HOW MUCH FUNDING CAN I APPLY FOR?

Continuation Funding is offered at two levels:

1) £50,000 over one year

2) Up to £100,000 over two years

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.

       2. Read the application guidelines

       3. Submit your application

First, you will need to submit a brief concept note to WFN (this has been emailed to WFN alumni) in May/June. Please get in touch to request a copy if needed.

Following this, 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 in November of the year they apply.
