Daiwa Foundation Small Grants

The Daiwa Foundation Small Grants provide project funding to promote and support interaction between the United Kingdom and Japan. Grants support travel between the UK and Japan, subsistence for travellers, and costs for events, exhibitions, conferences, research travel and grassroots exchanges. Awards are typically contributions rather than full-budget funding and range from £2,000 to £9,000, with many successful awards in the region of £3,000–£4,000. The Foundation also makes a small additional environmental contribution per supported UK–Japan flight.

Monetary grant for project costs (travel, subsistence, project activities); travel contribution up to £1,200 per flight; subsistence at £100 per person per day; £50 environmental contribution per supported UK–Japan flight.

Individuals, societies, associations or other bodies in the United Kingdom or Japan may apply for projects that promote interaction between the two countries.

Apply using the Foundation's online application forms (separate forms for applicants applying from Japan and from the UK).
