Funded by Money Saving Expert, the MSE Charity offers a small number of grants twice a year to small not-for-profit organisations based and working in the UK. The funding is to help them deliver activities within the UK which make a lasting impact on how people think, behave and manage their money.
Grants of between £2,000 and £10,000 are available. It is anticipated that less than 10 grants will be awarded in the winter round.
The funding can be used for activities related to increasing personal financial capability. Some examples are:
UK registered charities, community interest companies (CICs), credit unions, not-for-profit companies limited by guarantee, and social enterprise companies can apply.
Applicants must be UK based, established and active for at least 18 months, have a total annual income of between £10,000 and £600,000, a governing document, a governing body of at least three unconnected individuals and a bank account in the group’s name.
There will be two grant rounds in 2026, with Stage 1 Outline Proposals accepted during a one-week window in either January or July:
• Winter Round: Opens Monday 19 January, closes 5pm Monday 26 January
• Summer Round: Opens Monday 6 July, closes 5pm Monday 13 July
It is anticipated that between six to nine projects will receive funding each grant round.
