Information on Project Funding

Due to the high number of funding applications received, the funds available for the current year have already been exhausted.

Therefore, funding applications received by the 1 November 1 2026 deadline will foreseeably not be decided on until early 2027.

The National Fund team remains available to answer any questions you may have.
