The BBC Children in Need Main Grants programme is open to charities and not-for-profit organisations applying for grants over £10,000 per year for up to three years.
Grants are given for:
Children and young people of 18 years and under experiencing disadvantage through:
1. Illness, distress, abuse or neglect
2. Any kind of disability
3. Behavioural or psychological difficulties
4. Living in poverty or situations of deprivation
BBC Children in Need fund organisations working to combat this disadvantage and to make a real difference to children and young people's lives.
Who can apply?
• Not-for-profit organisations that work with disadvantaged children and young people of 18 years and under who live in the UK, the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands.
• If your organisation currently has a grant from BBC Children in Need, you can apply for further funding providing your current grant is coming to an end within the next 12 months. You will need to be able to provide convincing evidence of the differences the grant has made to the lives of the disadvantaged children and young people you have worked with.
How much to apply for?
• The Main Grants Programme is for grants over £10,000 to support projects for up to three years.
• There is no upper limit for Main Grants but very few grants are made over £100,000 and most grants are for much less.
