Who can apply

  • Local charities and Charitable Incorporated Organisations registered with the Charity Commission, based in the London Borough (City) of Westminster or neighbouring boroughs, that deliver services directly to beneficiaries in Westminster
  • WAC checks the Charity Commission Register: any charity listed as operating throughout England and Wales is treated as national and is ineligible
  • Not eligible: grant-makers, commercially-focused charities, higher education institutions
  • One application every 12 months; previous grantees must have submitted a monitoring report before reapplying
  • New applicants must meet WAC and will be visited to verify the organisation and project

What it funds

  • Projects or services that aim to benefit a significant number of Westminster residents in need, in the areas of addiction, children and youth, community, elderly, health and disability, and homelessness
  • Grants can cover specific capital costs, revenue funding (including core costs) and specific project/service costs
  • Grants are one-off, on a yearly basis

What it will not fund

  • National charities operating throughout England and Wales (even if their main area of operation is London)
  • Organisations that make grants to others
  • Organisations whose primary objective is commercial, even with charitable status (e.g. theatres, art galleries and museums aimed at the paying public)
  • Institutions of higher education
  • Rolling or multi-year grants
  • General letters of appeal

How to apply

  1. Check your Charity Commission Register entry to confirm you are treated as a local (not national) charity
  2. Register on the WAC online grants portal (all new applicants)
  3. New applicants: meet with WAC before the application can go to trustees; you will also be visited to verify the organisation and project
  4. Start the online application by 5pm on 19 October 2026 and submit by 5pm on 23 October 2026 for the November trustees' meeting
  5. Trustees decide at the November meeting; outcome notified by email
  6. If funded, submit a monitoring report after the project is complete

Applications with incomplete answers, inaccurate budgets or finances that do not reconcile will not be considered; WAC will not rewrite applications after submission

A monitoring report for any previous grant must be received (or attached to the form) before a new application is accepted

Have ready

  • Complete and accurate project budget
  • Organisational financial information that reconciles correctly
  • Supporting information relevant to the project (evidence of need, outcomes, delivery)
  • Monitoring report on any previous WAC grant (returning applicants)

Required items are as described on the grants page; the portal form itself was not inspected
