Aims of Fund

To make small grants, for running costs and salaries, to small charities in England and Wales to help sustain their existing work.

Who can apply

Registered Charities in England and Wales that have been constituted and running for at least 3 years, with annual expenditure of less than £40,000.

How much and what can you apply for

Up to £3,000 per year for up to 3 years, for running costs. .

They give grants for the core costs of small charities to sustain existing work with:

  • Elderly people
  • Children and young people aged 5 – 25
  • People with physical impairments, learning difficulties or mental health challenges
  • Social welfare – people trying to overcome life-limiting problems of a social, rather than medical, origin (such as addiction, relationship difficulties, abuse, offending)
  • Education and learning (with a particular interest in people who are educationally disadvantaged, whether adults or children)

They prioritise:

  • Work that is unattractive to the general public or unpopular with other funders
  • Services that help to improve the lives of marginalised, disadvantaged or isolated people
  • Applicants that can demonstrate an effective use of volunteers
  • Charities that seek to be preventive and aim to change opinion and behaviour through raising awareness of issues, education and campaigning
  • Applicants that can demonstrate (where feasible) an element of self sustainability by charging subscriptions/fees to service users

Applications that don’t address at least two of the above are unlikely to receive a grant.

Grants will not be given for new projects. Look at the list of exclusions before applying.
