UK registered charities working in a wide range of areas can apply for one-off small grants through a two-stage application process.

Grocers’ Hall charity typically provides one-off grants up to £5,000 for UK registered charities with a turnover of under £500,000.

The two-stage application process begins with an initial enquiry form.

There will then be two deadlines for submission of enquiries, on 8 September 2023 and 12 January 2024.

After your form is submitted, they will respond within three weeks after the deadline date.

If you are invited to apply, you will receive a link to the 2nd Stage online application form which must e completed within one week. You will need to state your most recent financial information, trustee details, anticipated outcomes and how the activity will be evaluated and a breakdown of the costs involved.

Responses to applications are made within four months and decisions are normally in December or March. They will tell you if you are in the later funding round.

The full list of work areas that the charity supports is:

• Relief of Poverty
• the Elderly
• Disability
• Health
• Military
• Heritage and the Arts
• Environment
• Children and Young People.

Their priorities this year lean towards, but are not exclusively to fund, applications which support youth, help those struggling with financial hardship and environmental charities.

Eligibility criteria are available for each of the above and you can see examples and information on previous grants awarded.

Applications will only be accepted via their online form. If you are unable to do this due to an impairment, contact them before applying.
