TIMELINE

We are no longer accepting concept notes for 2024 Continuation Funding. We will be accepting concept notes from Whitley Award alumni for 2025 Continuation Funding in May/June 2025. 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.
