The Boring Fund helps small non-profit organisations (based in the UK) cover a bit of the boring costs that keep them running. Boring but essential things like insurance, web hosting, admin time: the stuff that’s always so hard to find funding for.
It’s partly a funding experiment, partly making a point about the state of the stupid funding system.
Small, grassroots organisations shouldn’t have to jump through endless hoops to get support. They want to take away the red tape that so often makes fundraising complicated, intimidating and unfair for people doing the proper work on the ground, particularly for marginalised groups. (Big funders with wads of cash, please take note!)
The Boring Fund keeps things easy with the simplest application process, £200 grants, and no reporting.
All grants are for £200. There will be 30+ grants available. You can use a grant for a couple of different things if one of them costs less than £200, or put the £200 towards the cost of something more expensive.
The grant is to spend the money on something boring and behind-the-scenes, that would otherwise be more difficult to fund e.g. insurance, accountancy, admin time, web hosting, training, office costs etc. The grants are not for project delivery or anything too exciting.
It cannot fund:
This funding is intended to support early-stage, exploratory projects that aim to spark new ideas and innovative approaches to community engagement with heritage.
The Third Sector Framework has a £10,000 commission available for a VCSE organisation or partnership to run face to face menopause support programmes for women in communities across Wakefield District.
Grants are available for UK charities who are working with vulnerable and disadvantaged people within the UK.
