BBC Children in Need
We awards grant to charities and not-for-profit organisations to work withdisadvantaged children and young people aged 18 and under in the UK. The projects we fund help prevent or overcome the effects of disadvantage by making differences in the lives of the children and young people they work with. These differences are achieved by either working directly with children or seeking to improve their social and physical environments.
Small Grants
BBC Children in Need’s Small Grant Programme awards sums of up to £10,000, for one year. There are four deadlines a year, and decisions are communicated to applicants within 8-10 weeks of the deadline.
Deadlinesare 1 September, 1 December, 1 March and 1 June.
In our Small Grants programme we are looking for projects where a relatively small amount of money can make a big difference for children and young people. We are unlikely to fund applications which top up funding for salaries or larger projects where a small grant would only make a marginal impact on its success.
Main Grants
BBC Children in Need’s Main Grant Programme awards sums of over £10,000 per year for up to 3 years. The application is a two stage process and there are three deadlines per year. The first stage is the Initial Application form, applicants will be informed within 2 weeks of the deadline whether or not they are invited to the next stage. Applicants who are invited to the second stage will have 3 weeks to submit the full application form, and decisions are communicated to applicants five and a half months after the initial application deadline.
Deadlines are 15 January, 15 May and 15 September.
