The MSE Charity gives grants to UK not for profit organisations that deliver activities which make a lasting impact on how people think, behave and manage their money.
Following the Charity’s strategic review earlier this year, the new grants programme is opening on the 19 June 2024.
VISION – To give grants to UK non profit organisations to deliver activities which make a lasting impact on how people think, behave and manage their money
-
All applications to be aligned with the Charity’s vision
-
No particular grant round themes or people categories
-
Project grants will be available up to £10,000
-
Two grant rounds per year
-
A new staged application process
a) Pre-Application – Grant Eligibility Quiz – a self assessment tool to determine if your organisation and project meets our general grant criteria. If successful you will unlock access to the Stage 1 form.
b) Stage 1 – Outline Proposal – a brief application that enables you to tell us about your organisation and the activities you would like us to fund. This should provide sufficient detail for our Grants Advisory Panel (GAP) to assess if it would be suitable for The MSE Charity to consider funding.
c) Stage 2 – Full Application – invited short-listed applicants are sent a link to complete a full application form with approximately one month to complete. This will require more detailed information to be provided about your organisation; evidence of need, the project activities; the team’s experience; the outcomes you are hoping to achieve; a detailed project budget; and submission of supporting documents including your Accounts and a recent bank statement.
Rationale – why we are changing our grants programme and process
-
For our application process to be proportionate to the size of grant we can offer.
-
We want to receive appropriate applications that are aligned to our funding criteria.
-
For applicants to reduce the time and resource spent applying.
-
It is considered best practice across the grant making sector.
