Grants and support for social innovations from our Fellowship
We award £100,000 annually, supporting Fellows to test needed social change innovations and scale the social impact of their projects.
The Catalyst Awards programme offers £2,000 Seed and £10,000 Scaling grants for RSA Fellows.
Early-stage projects in need of a financial boost, to help them test the real-world potential and feasibility of an innovation.
Growing projects that have already made a proven difference, to help them scale. By scale we mean, reaching new beneficiaries, deepening impact with existing beneficiaries, or exploring ways of becoming more financially sustainable.
To be eligible, you must be an RSA Fellow. Find out more about RSA Fellowship.
In the event that we receive a significant increase in the number of applications, we will notify all applicants by email of any changes to the timeline.
