The Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation is a UK-based charity dedicated to supporting closer links between the United Kingdom and Japan. The Foundation operates through multiple programs including the Daiwa Scholarship program for individuals to study and work in Japan, Small Grants and Awards to fund UK-Japan collaborative projects across various fields, and cultural programming through the Daiwa Foundation Japan House in London which hosts exhibitions, seminars, lectures, and other events promoting UK-Japan relations.
Funding Opportunities
Daiwa Foundation Awards
Daiwa Foundation Awards provide funding of £9,000-£18,000 for collaborative projects that enable British and Japanese partners to work together in the context of an institutional relationship. The awards seek to encourage the development and sustainability of UK-Japan partnerships between organizations such as museums and art galleries, theatres and performing arts groups, schools and universities, and grassroots and professional bodies. In order to fund as many applications as possible given limited budgets, the Foundation typically awards an average of £9,000 to successful applications. The funding is meant to be a contribution to proposed projects rather than covering full budgets. New initiatives are especially encouraged, though the Foundation is unlikely to fund continuing events or those that take place on a regular basis unless there is a strong reason or it is for a special occasion. The awards can cover projects in academic, professional, arts, cultural, scientific and educational fields. Any project which involves a significant level of collaboration between British and Japanese partners can be considered. Projects must demonstrate institutional partnerships and collaborative work between organizations in both countries. The Foundation provides advice about possible applications and encourages early submission.
Daiwa Foundation Small Grants
The Daiwa Foundation Small Grants programme provides funding of £2,000-£9,000 to individuals, societies, associations or other bodies in the UK or Japan to promote and support interaction between the two countries. The Foundation typically awards in the region of £3,000 to £4,000 to successful applications, with funding intended as a contribution to proposed projects rather than covering full budgets. The grants can cover all fields of activity, including educational and grassroots exchanges, research travel, the organisation of conferences, exhibitions, and other projects and events that fulfil the broad objective of UK-Japan exchange. New initiatives are especially encouraged, though the Foundation is unlikely to fund continuing events or those that take place on a regular basis unless there is a strong reason or it is for a special occasion. The programme aims to fund as many applications as possible given the Foundation's limited budget.
