Funding Friday
easyfundraising: Impact Fund
UK not-for-profit organisations can apply for a £500 grant to help fund their activities. There are just 20 grants available but the funding is unrestricted and so if you are awarded a grant you can use the money where it is most needed. Projects are expected to have a community impact and a lasting benefit.
Registered charities, sports clubs, schools, social enterprises, youth clubs, churches and other not-for-profit organisations can apply.
These unrestricted grants are designed for practical needs—things like equipment, resources, volunteer costs, event expenses, small project funding, or other essential day-to-day costs that help you deliver your work. Each grant is £500.
Application deadline: 5 April 2026

Children’s Alliance
Non-profit organisations including schools, registered charities, community interest companies and registered community groups can apply for grants to deliver water-based projects for disadvantaged children. The funding comes from the Children’s Alliance which aims to get children into water safely to learn, develop and purposefully play for the benefit of their physical and mental wellbeing.
The funding is intended to support children under 18 years old who do not have access to swimming lessons or water activities due to a lack of funding. Grants can be used to deliver water-based projects such as swimming lessons, hydrotherapy or water play.
The grants can be up to £15,000 with most grants awarded being around £5,000.
Applications can be submitted in March or September.
