Small and larger funding awards are available for smaller charities and good causes in the south of England under a range of seven themes.

There are three funding rounds in 2024, with short application windows.

The seven themes are:

• Improving mental wellbeing
• Enabling participation in the arts
• Preventing or reducing the impact of poverty
• Supporting marginalised groups and promoting equality
• Improving biodiversity and responding to the climate emergency
• Enabling participation in physical activity
• Increasing green spaces and access to the outdoors.

Dependent on the type of organisation, application can be made for £500-£2,500 or £500-£25,000.

The amount requested in any application should not exceed one-third of your organisation’s total income on the annual accounts submitted with your application.

Organisations should have an income of £1m or less in the most recent financial year.

To support decision their making, priority will be given to charities and good causes which meet some or all of the following criteria:

• organisations with an annual income of £250,000 and below

• funding for communities that rank as being within the top 15% on the English Indices of Deprivation

• funding for groups that are set up to support people from the minority/marginalised groups of LGBT+ people, communities experiencing racial inequity, and disabled people.

The application window for Round 3 is open from 9am on Monday 26 August 2024 and closes at 12 noon on Monday 2 September 2024.
