The Small Grants programme is looking for projects where a relatively small amount of money can make a big difference for children and young people.
The Main Grants programme offers grants over £10,000 to support projects for up to three years. PLEASE NOTE: there is no upper limit for Main Grants but very few grants over £100,000 are made and most grants are for much less.
The grants are to be used for direct project costs that relate clearly and wholly to a project. Costs can include salaries, volunteer expenses, building hire and travel.
In many cases project costs also include less delivery-focused aspects such as line management, administration, insurance and utilities.
Match funding is not required.
The next deadline for Small Grant applications is Tuesday 1 December 2015.
The next deadline for Main Grant applications is Friday 15 January 2016.
