BBC Children in Need are inviting not-for-profit organisations working with disadvantaged children and young people 18 years and under to apply for grants of up to £10,000 through their small grants scheme.
Not-for-profits organisations that can be supported include registered charities, voluntary organisations, schools,
local authorities, churches, social enterprises, community interest
groups, universities etc..
BBC Children in Need can only fund projects that focus on the differences made (outcomes) to the lives of disadvantaged children and young people. For this reason, when applying for a grant organisations must provide clear evidence that disadvantaged children and young people will be the primary beneficiaries of the project; and experience positive changes in their lives from the activities or services you are providing. BBC Children in Need aims to fund projects where a small amount can make a real contribution to the success of the project. Grants can be used to cover both, capital and revenue costs. There are four application deadlines in the year. The first deadline for applications is the 15th January 2010 followed by the 15th April, 15th July and the 15th October 2010.
