UKEC Funding
UKEC FUNDING
UKEC aims to empower Malaysian Societies (MSocs) within the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland with its ventures. UKEC acknowledges the difficulty in holding events of various scales and the difficulty in obtaining funding for such events. Such concerns explains the rationale of the UKEC Fund, which is devised to lighten the financial burden of MSocs.
It is in the best interest of UKEC that MSocs are able to organise their respective events such as Malaysian Night (MNight), Malaysian Games or Malaysian Festival (MFest) successfully.
Given the context, however, it is important to note that applications for the UKEC Fund will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, due to the limited resources that UKEC has.
- The aim of the UKEC Fund is to help MSocs break-even and not to make a profit.
- The UKEC Fund is prioritised at assisting smaller MSocs and/or MSocs with an income and bank account figures below a particular threshold. The UKEC Fund is also prioritised in supporting MSocs who are in need of funding for a cultural initiative or intellectual discourse.
- In cases where UKEC is financially restricted, it shall not have any obligation to provide any UKEC Fund.
