The British Omani Society

British Omani Society Grants

Grants from The British Omani Society for individuals and organisations whose activities promote learning and understanding about Oman in Britain, or about the UK among Omani nationals. Strongest bids promote British-Omani friendship, involve both British and Omani participants, leave lasting skills or training, and align with Oman's 2040 Vision. Trustees consider applications at board meetings roughly every quarter. Past grants include £5,000 to Outward Bound Oman for staff exchange visits.

Who can apply

  • Individuals and organisations whose activity falls within the Society's charitable objects (education about Oman in Britain, or about the UK for Omani nationals)
  • The application form asks whether you have a UK bank account
  • Successful applicants sign a grant contract, complete a post-project assessment form and share content (short video clips, photos and a written or recorded piece) for the Society to showcase

What it funds

Activities that contribute towards the Society's charitable objects:

  • Advancing the education of the British public about Oman - its people, history, geography, economy, literature, art, music, antiquities, languages, cultures, religions, beliefs, customs, industry and commerce - through lectures, seminars and meetings, and by providing bursaries, awards, scholarships, training, apprenticeships and financial and logistical support
  • Advancing the education of Omani nationals about the United Kingdom - its people, history, geography, economy, literature, art, music, heritage, the English language, cultures, religions, beliefs, customs, industry and commerce - in the same ways

applications should meet as many as possible of these criteria: promotes British Omani friendship; involves both British and Omani participants; provides lasting benefit through new formal training or skills; benefits people beyond those submitting it; is aligned with Oman's 2040 Vision Pillars and Priorities; has significant reach beyond the Society's existing audience; contributes to primary research on Oman or a significant breakthrough in the field; has secured funding from other sources; falls into a funding gap and would not otherwise proceed; is appropriately costed; and the applicant is contributing their own resources.
