Localgiving are once again offering Magic Little Grants of £500 for small charities and community groups.
Apply by 31 October 2023.
After successfully distributing £500 grants to 2,650 charitable organisations in 2022, Localgiving are incredibly excited to announce that 2023 is going to be even bigger and better than ever before… you won’t want to miss out!
Applications will be open from 1 March until 31 October 2023.
With a simple 20-minute application process and an outcome within six weeks, the Magic Little Grants fund reduces the work required for grass-roots organisations to access the funding they need to launch or strengthen their services. The following criteria apply:
- Organisations must either be in their first year of operation or have an annual income under £250,000.
- Funding can be used to launch new projects, support existing ones, or cover core costs associated with ongoing work.
- Organisations and the projects for which they apply must be located within England, Scotland, or Wales.
Please note that schools are eligible to apply if they are a registered charity. Groups in Northern Ireland are not eligible to apply for this funding. Groups may only apply once in 2023 for a grant.
The six funding trusts from the People’s Postcode Lottery who Localgiving will be collaborating with to administer their biggest ever Magic Little Grants programme in 2023 are:
