About the Organization

The Maypole Fund is a small grant-giving organisation that funds feminist activism against militarism and war. The women who run The Maypole Fund are volunteers firmly committed to feminist activism against militarism and war in its many and diverse forms. In legal terms, we are registered in England and Wales as Maypole Grants Ltd, a company limited by guarantee (company number: 14829488).

About the Grant

The aim of The Maypole Fund is to financially support feminist activism against militarism and war and closely related issues.

We are particularly interested to fund imaginative projects and activities which pro-actively challenge militarism and war and closely related issues from a feminist female-focussed perspective in locally relevant and appropriate ways.

Applicants can be individual feminists or feminist groups, and we welcome applications for projects and activities for any of the following areas of feminist activism:

• Action against militarism
• Action against war
• Action against the arms trade
• Action against nuclear weapons and weapons systems
• Action to support disarmament policies and processes

All projects and activities funded by The Maypole Fund have to meet our aims, be non-violent, and demonstrate how a feminist perspective informs the proposed project or activity.

How to Apply

To receive a grant, you must agree to the following conditions:

• You or your group/organisation must commit to using the grant exclusively for the project/activity applied for.
• You or your group’s/organisation’s activity has not started before the grant decision.
• To demonstrate the outcome of your project/activity, you must provide a report back within 6 months of the end of a project. Please say what you have done and how you have spent the grant.
• Acknowledge funding received from The Maypole Fund wherever possible, such as in project publications and on your website, or similar.

Your application must be for a project which falls within our aims, be non-violent and demonstrate how a feminist perspective informs the proposed project or activity.

As we receive more applications than we have money to fund, we are especially looking for imaginative and politically expressive projects. Of the applications we receive, we support on average 5-10%.

Application:

The Maypole Fund accepts applications in two funding sessions each year.

We are now receiving applications for the June 2024 session, with a submission deadline of June 30th.

To apply for a grant, please complete the digital application form.
