You can apply for more than one grant theme and the minimum grant for each theme is £1000 up to a maximum of £25,000. The deadline is midday on 28 April 2026. We were expecting another round of FETF to open this year but this is much earlier than expected as the claim deadline for FETF 2025 is not until 31st March.
