How to apply

We award grants of up to £2,500 to small UK charities twice a year, with applications reviewed at trustee meetings in April and October. The deadline for applications is the end of September for the October meeting and the end of March for the April meeting.

We welcome applications at any time, but do allow up to three months for a response.

Before applying, please note:

  • You’ll need to provide a supporting quote for the work you want funded. This will be reviewed by specialist advisors at Fat Beehive Ltd to ensure value for money and feasibility.
  • We’ll carry out due diligence on your organisation. If your application progresses, we’ll request further information about your charity’s identity, financial standing, and the individuals involved in delivering the project.
  • You’ll need to demonstrate that your organisation and any suppliers are adequately insured.

Next deadline for applications is: 31st March 2026
