January 2010 - Children in Need launches small grants programme


deadlines: 15 January, 15 April, 15 July and 15 October

BBC Children in Need has announced the launch of a small grants programme based on its experience that significant and valuable work can be achieved with a small annual grant of £10,000 or less for up to three years.

The programme is designed to encourage those who may at any time. There are four deadlines in the year, each with a 14-week turnaround: 15 January; 15 April, 15 July and 15 October.

The grantmaker offers support to applicants via its website, helpdesk and local staff who are keen to hear from projects before they apply. The charity aims to encourage both new and previous applicants.
