Unrestricted grants are available to enable small charities in the UK to grow, strengthen or become more efficient or resilient.  Up to £30k spread over 1 – 3 years

The Fore provides unrestricted grants to small charities and social enterprises based in the UK.  The funding is intended to have a transformational impact on the organisations being supported by unlocking exponential growth, sustainability, efficiency or some other major step forward.  The grants are viewed by the Fore as investments in the organisations it supports.

Applicants need to meet the following criteria:

• The organisation mustbe a UK-registered charity, CIO, CIC (Community Interest Company) or CBS (Community Benefit Society).
• The organisation must have an annual turnover of less than £500,000 in the last financial year.

There is particular interest in funding small organisations working with marginalised groups and led by people in the community that may have found it hard to access trust and foundation funding in the past.

The Autumn 2023 funding round is expected to be open for registration from noon on 12 July 2023 to noon on 19 July 2023.
