Description
The Lloyd's Register Foundation Small Grants Scheme provides catalytic funding for innovative projects that initiate or strengthen partnerships, test new ideas, or deliver pilot studies in areas aligned with the Foundation’s charitable mission: enhancing the safety of life and property. The scheme targets the heritage, maritime, and public sectors but is open to a broad range of technical and non-technical initiatives that demonstrate measurable public benefit, knowledge exchange, or potential for future collaboration. Projects must be completed within 12 months and should be designed to deliver clear, shareable outcomes that can influence wider practice or policy.
