Each year for several years the Paristamen Charity has invited charities to propose an imaginative “Blue Sky” initiative as a one-off project where we say: “If we offer you £25K, what could you do?” in a particular field. The theme varies from year to year.
A major initiative for a grant awarded in March 2023 is currently in progress. Details of current and previous Blue Sky and Large Grants programmes are now on a separate page.

Future Blue Sky Awards
We did not award a Blue Sky grant in the year 2023/24: our income was lower than the year before and our focus was on increased awards under our responsive and planned grants. However, from 2024/25 onwards we are expecting to receive some further donations and we are exploring some possible partnership grants, working closely with other organisations. More details will be available in due course.
