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 £20K (or occasionally, £25K) what could you do?” in a particular field. The theme varies from year to year. For details of previous awards see the page Blue Sky and Large Grants awards.
The last Blue Sky award was made in March 2026 – see the Blue Sky grant awards page for details.
This is our last Blue Sky Grant, given the trustees’ announcement that The Paristamen Charity will seek to wind-up after the final grant awards in March 2027. No more applications or expressions of interest for Blue Sky Grants can therefore be considered. However, our Responsive Grants programme remains open for applications until 1 February 2027.
