Funding: BBC Children in Need Small and Main Grants Programmes
5 August 2016
BBC Children in Need is calling on Scottish charities to apply for its Main and Small Grant programmes. Charities which help disadvantaged children and young people are asked to apply for a grant on the BBC Children in Need website.
The 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 and the Small Grants Programme is for charities and not-for-profit organisations applying for any amount up to and including £10,000 for one year only.
Grants are awarded for:
- Illness, distress, abuse or neglect
- Any kind of disability
- Behavioural or psychological difficulties
- Living in poverty or situations of deprivation
Projects funded make differences in children’s lives that help prevent or overcome the effects of the disadvantages they face. Projects achieve these differences by either working directly with children or seeking to improve their social and physical environments.
The first application deadline date for the Main Grants programme is 15 September 2016 and the Small Grants programme deadline is 1 September 2016.
More information on funding available, guidelines and how to apply is available from the BBC Children In Need website.
