Daiwa Foundation Awards
Created: 03/04/2025Awards of £9,000 to £18,000 are available for collaborative projects that enable British and Japanese partners to work together in the context of an institutional relationship.
Daiwa Foundation Awards can cover projects in most academic, professional, arts, cultural, 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.
The Foundation is unlikely to fund continuing events or those that take place on a regular basis unless there is a strong reason/need or unless it is for a special occasion.
Who can apply?
The fund is open to individuals, societies, associations or other bodies in the UK.
How to apply
UK-based applicants can apply online via the funder's website.
The foundation encourages applicants to submit as early as possible.
The closing date for applications is Tuesday 30 September 2025.
