We encourage you to apply as early as you can to ensure adequate time between application, approval and completion of your event. We try to review and respond to applications within three weeks of receipt. Please see the notes page of the application form for further details.
How to apply
You’ll need to apply to the college for support for your activity or event well in advance (usually at least one full term and one full vacation before the event takes place). Please note that if you are on a one-year course, you’ll usually need to apply for support in your first term in order to have enough time to plan and deliver your project.
Your application will be considered competitively by the Green Templeton Annual Fund. They will grant support to cultural, social and sporting projects and programmes which most clearly fulfil one or more of these strategic aims:
- contribute to a welcoming and exceptional college experience with enrichment opportunities that enables all to deliver on their potential and thrive throughout life
- enhance human welfare and social, economic and environmental well-being
- strengthen the college’s engagement and relationships with communities across Oxford and beyond.
Innovation and imagination are welcome! Please email emily.dobinson@gtc.ox.ac.uk if you’re not sure an activity or expense is eligible.
