Chancellor Announces £1,000,000 grant for Magna Carta Commemorations

The big news of the past month is the Chancellor George Osborne’s announcement of a grant of £1,000,000 to the work of the 800th Anniversary Committee. This will provide core funding to support anniversary activities across the world, including to help the Committee increase our social media impact over the next 18 months.

The bulk of the funding will go towards grants to support the activities of organization affiliated to the Trust and the 800th Committee, as well as other associated organization, for events and activities to be delivered in 2014/15. Each grant will be of no more than £20,000 inclusive of VAT.

Grant decisions will be made by a committee made up of the executives of the Magna Carta 800th Committee and HM Government representatives, with particular emphasis on bids which:

• Promote the objectives of the Trust and of the 800th Committee.

• Give emphasis on legacy and education, over one-time events or “celebrations”.

• Support activities in Commonwealth countries, as HM the Queen, the Trust’s Patron, requested when she became Patron.

We are tremendously pleased at this outcome. This grant is a true game-changer for the 800th Committee, for our partner organization, and for the commemoration of Magna Carta globally. We are grateful to the Chancellor and HM Government for their support.
