If an application is approved, a representative of the organisation will be invited to take out one Wooden Spoon membership for a period of 5 years.

How to apply
Applicants should first read the funder's qualifying criteria and check which regions currently have funds available, both of which can be found on the Wooden Spoon website. If the project meets the criteria, the next step is to complete an expression of wish form for an initial assessment by the projects team. Eligible organisations will then be invited to submit a full application.
