Comic Relief Grants (UK)


Comic Relief has announced that the next funding cycle for Comic Reliefs UK grants programmes will open for applications on the 11th October 2010.

The new funding cycle will apply to the following programmes:

Mental health

Domestic and sexual abuse

Refugee and asylum seeking women

Sport for Change

Young People aged 11 – 25 that are sexually exploited; suffer from alcohol abuse; and suffer from mental health problems.

In addition, Comic Relief operates a programme that supports disadvantaged communities. This programme is devolved to the Community Foundation Network. Please contact your local Community Foundation directly for details of their funding application procedures.

Comic Relief provides both capital and revenue and can pay for up to 100% of projects costs but they encourage applicants to get some of their funding from other sources. On average grants of between £25,000 and £40,000 are available to not for profit organisations such as:

Constituted voluntary and community groups

Charities

Social enterprises

Co-operatives
