Overview

Foundation Overview

Their most direct means of achieving their mission is through awarding grants to research and education organisations.

Their approach to grant making is that they direct most of their funding, in consultation with their community and based on evidence and insight of what the challenges are, where their focus should be, and what are the most effective solutions.

The ethos of the Lloyd's Register Foundation small grants scheme is "a little can go a long way".  

Through this scheme the Foundation is making funds available to projects which can:

  1. Initiate, build, or consolidate partnerships with organisations in the relevant sectors.
  2. Test out ideas through pilot studies, proof of concept projects or activities targeting the heritage, maritime and public sectors.

They will only consider applications related to the charitable mission of Lloyd’s Register Foundation. : to Engineer a Safer World

  • Projects or activities should demonstrate the potential to lead to future collaborations, clear knowledge exchange, or create/accelerate impact.
  • They are additionally interested in receiving applications related to their Heritage Centre.
  • Please note grants are not normally awarded consecutively and can be no more than 12 months long.
