Lloyd's Register Foundation Small Grants Scheme

The Lloyd's Register Foundation Small Grants scheme operates on the ethos that 'a little can go a long way'. This scheme makes funds available to projects that can initiate, build, or consolidate partnerships with organisations in relevant sectors, or test out ideas through pilot studies, proof of concept projects, or activities targeting the heritage, maritime, and public sectors. Applications must relate to the charitable mission of Lloyd's Register Foundation to enhance the safety of life and property, particularly through engineering, risk, or systems approaches. Projects should demonstrate potential to lead to future collaborations, clear knowledge exchange, or create/accelerate impact. The Foundation welcomes both technical and non-technical projects that demonstrate clear public benefit, with findings that are shareable and publicly accessible. Grants support work globally, including locally led initiatives, provided organisations meet eligibility criteria and projects deliver demonstrable public benefit aligned with the Foundation's mission.
