About This Opportunity

TheGivingMachine offers a quarterly Community Grants scheme as part of their mission to provide funding opportunities for all good causes to ensure their sustainable future. Each quarter, 8 unrestricted grants worth £250 each are available to any UK-based good cause with a turnover of less than £1 million. These are one-time grant payments that can be used for unrestricted purposes, allowing organisations to fill gaps in their funding and divert funds to everyday costs. Successful causes are chosen at random from all eligible entries, with grants distributed across a diverse range of sectors to ensure no single sector is overrepresented. Applications are accepted during specific quarterly application periods, with the current period closing on 31st January 2026. Grant funds are transferred to successful causes' bank accounts within 28 days of the application period ending.
