Please read these instructions carefully before making your application.

We are excited to support talented individuals in the fields of sport, arts, education, science, and business. Here’s how you can apply for a grant:

  1. Eligibility and Fields of Support:

    • Our grants are designed to support young people from Bedford in various fields, including but not limited to sport, arts, education, science, and business.

    • Applications from people who do not live in Bedfordshire will be rejected, we will check.

    • Examples of support include:

      • Talented sports boys and girls needing funding to travel to events or buy equipment.

      • Artists wanting to work on a specific installation.

      • Young people wishing to attend courses to develop their skills.

      • Young entrepreneurs looking to start a business.

  2. Grant Amount:

    • Grants are available up to a maximum of £5,000.

    • Please apply for exactly what you need as we have limited funds and aim to support as many individuals as possible. Higher grant requests will undergo more stringent consideration.

  3. Application Review:

    • Applications will be reviewed by a team of three people.

    • Please provide as much information as possible to help us make the decision. We can’t just issue grants because someone wants to do something, we need to know their talents, ambitions and goals.

    • If your application is unsuccessful, we will write to you explaining the reasons.

  4. Grant Disbursement:

    • Successful applicants will receive their grants either via bank transfer or in Bitcoin.

    • If you are unfamiliar with Bitcoin, we are happy to provide an explanation and guidance.

  5. Underage Applicants:
