The Greater London Authority funds place-based, London-wide initiatives that improve opportunity and quality of life, with a strong emphasis on communities that are underrepresented or underserved. Its grants tend to support practical delivery through local organisations, colleges, charities, and community groups working on skills, youth development, green infrastructure, energy, and culturally inclusive public realm projects. A distinctive feature is that many opportunities are tied to mayoral priorities and specific programmes rather than open-ended philanthropy, so funding is often strategic, targeted, and geography-specific to Greater London.
Programmatic, London-only grants with defined application windows and eligibility criteria; awards range from small project support to large capital or delivery grants, often through competitive rounds, commissioned partnerships, or targeted funding calls.

Watch for time-limited funding rounds and apply through the specific programme portal rather than expecting an open general application. Align proposals tightly to the published theme and London geography, and if applying for skills or community programmes, show clear outreach, participation, and community impact; for capital or equipment funds, emphasize deliverability, value for money, and long-term public benefit.
