The Dream Fund

19 Aug 2016 - 11:14 by michelle.foster

The Dream Fund gives organisations the chance to deliver the project they have always dreamed of, but never had the opportunity to bring to life. The People's Postcode Lottery are asking charitable organisations across Great Britain to think big, be ambitious and collaborate with other not-for-profit partners to deliver their dream project.

Dream Fund 2017 is offering a total award fund of over £2.5 million for charitable organisations to deliver their ‘dream’ project in Great Britain (Scotland, England or Wales) in 2017-2019.

Registered charities and community organisations in Scotland, England or Wales can join forces to apply for up to £1,000,000 to deliver a new and innovative project up to 24 months in length that meets one or more of the following funding themes:
• Early child development
• Helping refugees in our community
• Conserving our marine environment
• Reconnecting with the natural world
• Engaging people with arts' culture and heritage

Applications must be innovative, creative and original, and present projects that are a genuine ‘dream’.

Dream Fund has a three stage application process:
Stage 1
Applicants submit their proposal through a simple online application form by Thursday 15 September 2016, at 5:30pm.

Stage 2
The most impressive, exciting and original projects will then be shortlisted and asked to apply via a formal online application form. Stage 2 will be open between 1 October and 20 October 2016.

Stage 3
Stage 2 applicants will then be shortlisted again and the very best entries will be asked to attend their offices in Edinburgh to give a formal presentation on their project to the Dream Fund judges on 5/6 December 2016.

Successful projects will be announced in January 2017.
