Welcome to The Lawson Trust's online application form.

The deadline for applications to be considered at our February 2027 meeting is 12 noon on 18 December 2026.

To help maintain a high application success rate, the trustees may close applications a few days early if the number received exceeds their review capacity.

Our maximum grant amount is £6,000. Applications requesting over £6,000 will be automatically disqualified.

To ensure you receive all correspondence, please add thelawsontrust email address to your safe sender's list. Failure to do so may result in missing important communications, and you will not be considered for a grant if you do not respond to emails from us.

The application form closely mirrors that of Kent Community Foundation (KCF). If you are a Kent-based organisation and have recently applied to KCF for the same elements of work, you can copy and paste much of your previous application.

Read the question help text carefully, especially when choosing areas of operation for your application.

For questions about the application form, please contact Hayley Corker at enquiries@lawsontrust.org.
