All UK registered charities, CIOs, CICs limited by guarantee and CBSs with an annual income of under £500,000 are welcome to apply. To check your eligibility, please take our quiz here.
The grants should create a step change for your organisation. What do you need to get to the next stage of your development? The grant might help your organisation to grow, increase your staff capacity, become more sustainable or make your systems more efficient – they don’t mind, they just want you to be able to be better at what you do.
