Large Grant Expression of Interest

The Honor Frost Foundation invites initial expressions of interest for grants over £70,000. Information on other grants is available here.

The deadline for Expression of Interest forms for large grants is April 1st, annually.

If accepted, a full project proposal is to be submitted in June. Final decisions will be made in September. HFF strongly recommends applying early for these grants to allow time for feedback on your application.

Grant Criteria

Grants are evaluated using the following criteria, with each project expected to engage with at least one catagory. Applicants are encouraged to identify these areas within the application.

  • Will the project generate high-quality regional research?
  • Does the project aim to develop regional skills and capacity including conservation, dive training, marine geophysics, databases?

Please note that our grant programme is increasingly competitive. The Foundation has funds to support a limited number of applications in each funding cycle, only awarded to those applications deemed by the trustees to be of the highest standard.
