Grand Plan

We’re a new charity offering three £1,000 grants a month for people of colour based in the UK who want to make a new creative project. It can be anything: poetry, paintings, fashion, zines, music, photographs – whatever you want. 

We want to help you to get your idea for a creative project off the ground. 

Your project doesn’t need to cost exactly £1,000 but we’re not looking to part-fund projects which cost much more than £1,000 to realise. 

Applications are assessed by an Independent panel of judges.
