  3. Deadlines and Notification of Results
The Council is modernizing its granting systems, including an updated funding portal in the summer of 2025. This may temporarily delay the notifications of results in 2025. We will continue to deliver results as quickly as possible and will return to normal delivery times once the updated portal has been launched.

Important notes:

  • Access to your account and all portal-related tasks is temporarily unavailable.
  • Funding opportunities with an “any time” deadline will have staggered openings between end of August and end of September 2025.
  • Deadlines and notification of result dates may change. Consult this page for up-to-date information before applying.
