Grants of up to £5,000 are available for small charities working to improve the lives of vulnerable people across the UK.
The funding is provided by the Wise Music Foundation, which aims to make a positive difference for people facing hardship, illness, or poverty, particularly children, people experiencing homelessness, older people, and those with disabilities. The Foundation also supports a wider range of causes, including education, cultural activities, arts and heritage, health and disability support, overseas famine relief, food banks, and other charitable initiatives.
Charities with an annual turnover of up to £500,000 are eligible to apply. The average grant awarded is £1,500.
Trustees meet quarterly to consider applications, and the next closing date is 28 February 2026.
