Our 2025 Grant Programmes
To celebrate our 40th anniversary in 2025, we are introducing two new grant programmes. This means there are some slight changes to how our funding will work in 2025. Our Core Grant Programme is open now and closes on 13 February. After that, there will be some changes.
Core Funding Programme
Our core funding programme is designed for charities seeking funding for a specific purpose and amount for salaries and operating costs between one and three years. This programme will run twice in 2025 – from now until 13 February, and from 7 July to 25 September. Our normal criteria apply.
40th Anniversary Programme
This programme has been specifically designed for charities who have experienced a significant increase in demand due to the cost of living. We will be awarding 10 grants of £40,000 of unrestricted funding to successful charities. Our normal criteria apply. Grant programme guidelines to follow in early 2025.
Specialist Programme
Full details of this programme will be announced in June 2025. Our normal criteria apply.
