Grants to Support Small Non-Profits with Essential Operating Costs (UK)
Small UK not-for-profit organisations, including charities, CICs, and voluntary groups, are invited to apply for grants of up to £200 through the Boring Fund. This new initiative, launched by Chritina Poulton, aims to support essential but often overlooked operational costs such as insurance, web hosting, or administrative support. Open to organisations with an annual turnover under £150,000, the fund offers a straightforward application process with no reporting requirements. The fund prioritises organisations working towards social justice and those led by or supporting marginalised communities, including LGBTQ+, queer or trans-led organisations, disability-led groups, those with global majority leaders, or those supporting refugee and migrant communities. Over 30 grants will be awarded randomly from the pool of eligible applicants. The deadline for applications is the 30th November 2025.

Funding to Support Core Costs of Small Charities (UK)
Small charities in the UK can apply for grants of up to £3,000 to support projects focused on supporting children and young people, disadvantaged families, prisoners, and ex-offenders. The grants are made available through the Woodward Charitable Trust and are intended to help cover core costs for small to medium-sized charities, particularly those with initiatives that engage volunteers, foster community cohesion, and promote skills development. The Trust also makes a limited number of larger grants over £3,000. These are however awarded only to charities known to the Trust. Applications are open until 12 pm on 13th December 2024.
