Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation
The Funding for Cultural and Educational Links with
Japan (UK) – Deadline: 15th December 2022 The Foundation seeks to promote mutual understanding and co-operation through financial support for activities in the following fields:
• Arts and culture,
• Humanities and social issues,
• Japanese language,
• Medicine and health,
• Science, technology, and environment,
• Sport,
• Youth and education.
The Foundation’s grants average £1,500 to £2,000 and do not normally exceed £5,000 for larger-scale projects.
The Foundation’s awards are intended to provide ‘prime-pumping’ and not core funding of projects, but even small grants have enabled a wide range of projects to reach fruition, such as:
• Visits between the UK and Japan by academics, professionals, creative artists, teachers, young people, journalists, and representatives of civic and nongovernmental organisations,
• Research and collaborative studies, seminars, workshops, lectures and publications in academic and specialist fields,
• Teaching and development or Japanese language and cultural studies in schools, Further Education colleges and universities,
• Exhibitions, performances and creative productions by artists, musicians, film-makers writers, and theatre groups.
