Millennium Awards
UnLtd's Millennium
Awards provide practical and financial support to social entrepreneurs
in the UK; people with vision, passion, drive and commitment,
who want to change the world for the better.You don't just
get money from UnLtd. If you win an award you will get a complete
package of support designed just for you, in addition to the
financial support.
What is
the funding for?
UnLtd currently offers two levels of award:
Level 1 Awards are designed to help make
new ideas become real projects. UnLtd gives out 1,000 Level
1 Awards each year across the UK. Level 1 Awards are aimed
at individuals or informal groups of people who have an idea
and want help getting it off the ground. The money is to help
with the running costs of the project.
Level 2
Awards support people whose ideas are already developed
or pay for the living expenses of Award Winners to help them
devote more time to their projects. These Awards are given
out once in the spring and once in the autumn.
It is people who
are important to UnLtd; which is why they only offer support
to individuals. They do not support organisations.
How much
money is available?
UnLtd are offering two levels of Award.
Level 1:
Awards of between £500 and £5,000. The average
amount will be £2,000. If you are applying as a group
of individuals you can receive a maximum total of £10,000.
Level 2: Awards
of between £5,000 and £15,000 with an expected
average of £10,000
Who can
apply?
The
Awards are given to individuals, not organisations, so anyone
who has an idea for a project that will be beneficial to their
community can apply. Priority will be given to those people
applying for the first time, and, where there is an obvious
learning opportunity for that individual. If you have already
received a millennium award, you may apply again for an award
from UnLtd, although if there is a high demand, you may not
be given priority.
At Level One it
is possible for several people to come together as a group
and apply as long as you all share the same ideas for the
project. The group must work together and each individual
will be given support.

apply
At any time. Level 2 Awards are decided in Spring
and Autumn.
