Grants are available for small grassroots groups and charities in England either to help them develop their organisation or to deliver projects that fit with Comic Relief’s four strategic themes.
Maximum value of the fund is £ 4,000.
Objectives of Fund:
The programme will invest in grassroots community-led organisations to bring about lasting change and legacy for local people.
The Fund has four main objectives and will support innovative projects that will tackle Comic Relief’s four core themes:
- Children Survive & Thrive: Projects that support children under the age of five to reach their potential and have the best start in life.
- Fighting for Gender Justice: Projects that improve equality for women, girls and the LBTQI+ community and initiatives that help people affected by domestic violence, abuse or exploitation due to their gender.
- A Safe Place to Be: Projects that support people who are rebuilding their lives because of homelessness or forced migration.
- Mental Health Matters: Projects that support good mental health in communities, improve access to support and tackle stigma and discrimination.
There are no deadlines as this is a rolling programme.
The first step in the application process is to complete the online eligibility checklist on the Groundwork website.
