Daiwa Anglo Japanese Foundation
Overview
Grant-giving is carried out via the following programmes:
Grants of £2,000-£9,000 are available to individuals, societies, associations or other bodies in the UK or Japan to promote and support interaction between the two countries.
In order to fund as many applications as they possibly can, given their limited budget, they typically award in the region of £3,000 to £4,000 to successful Small Grant applications. Their funding rarely covers an application’s budget in full, but is meant to be a “contribution” to the proposed project.
Daiwa Foundation Small Grants can cover all fields of activity, including educational and grassroots exchanges, research travel, the organisation of conferences, exhibitions, and other projects and events that fulfil this broad objective. New initiatives are especially encouraged.
Awards of £9,000-£18,000 are available for collaborative projects that enable British and Japanese partners to work together in the context of an institutional relationship.
In order to fund as many applications as they possibly can, given their limited budget, they typically award an average of £9,000 to successful Award applications. Their funding rarely covers an application’s budget in full, but is meant to be a “contribution” to the proposed project.
Daiwa Foundation Awards can cover projects in academic, professional, arts, cultural, scientific and educational fields. Awards seek to encourage the development and sustainability of UK-Japan partnerships between such organisations as museums and art galleries, theatres and performing arts groups, schools and universities, and grassroots and professional bodies. Any project which involves a significant level of collaboration between British and Japanese partners can be considered.
New initiatives are especially encouraged.
