The Small Grants Programme is now closed for applications. If you have applied we will be in touch with a final decision on your application within the next 6 weeks.
Our next funding round opens on April 7th.
Our small grants programme exists to try to make the world a better place through short-term, project specific funding.
Through this programme, we provide funding for projects of up to six months in length, ranging from £500 up to £10,000 (£5,000 in Wales) to registered charities, community and voluntary groups, community interest companies and other not-for-profit organisations.
We have four funding rounds per year and the opening and closing dates for the 2013 funding rounds are as follows:
