How can my organisation apply for funding?

If you think you have a project that Nominet Trust would be interested in funding, then you can apply using our online application process.  We have a two-stage application process.  Stage 1 allows you to describe the key features of your project and what you hope to achieve via a relatively short and straightforward online form.

We aim to review all Stage 1 forms within two weeks' of receipt.  The projects we feel align closely with our aims and objectives will be shortlisted and invited to complete the Stage 2 form - also online.
