Funding is available for UK charities working in the Swire Charitable Trust's three core funding areas of: Opportunity, Environment, and Heritage.
Charities can also apply for support if they are providing a critical response to the COVID-19 crisis or are facing severe short-term funding pressures as a result of this.
Grants can be awarded on a restricted or unrestricted basis and the Trust is willing support core costs, capital expenditures and salaries.
The Trust runs a rolling programme with regular grant making meetings, so there are no deadlines. Once an application has been submitted it will be assigned to the next available meeting. Applicants can expect to receive an outcome within two to three months of submission.
Grants of up to £500 are available for volunteering or community service projects that are run by young people aged 30 and younger to help them put their ideas into action and run projects that benefit others.
As part of its new grant-making Strategy 2022-25, BBC Children in Need has launched a grants stream for core costs.
BBC Children in Need is offering funding for defined projects with a focus on children and young people.
