Registration will open soon for our Summer 2025 funding rounds.
Registration will be open for one week from 12pm (midday) on Thursday 27th March to 12pm (midday) on Thursday 3rd April. During this window, you will find the link to register your interest in applying on this page.
In Summer 2025, we are running three funding rounds:
- National funding round
- North West funding round (for organisations based in the North West of England, which includes the counties of Cheshire, Cumbria, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Merseyside)
- South West funding round (for organisations based in Cornwall)
Please only register for one funding round and submit one registration per organisation. If you submit multiple registrations, we will only accept one in the interest of fairness.
On Friday 4th April, registered applicants will be emailed with confirmation of whether they have been allocated a place on the funding round. They will be invited to submit a full application.
If you have not heard from us by 5pm on Friday 4th April, please double-check your junk/spam folders and then contact us at info@thefore.org
If you would like more details on what applying to us involves and dates of future funding rounds, please see our application process page. For who is eligible, what we offer, and our application guidelines see the relevant pages of the website.
