The King Charles III Charitable Fund – Small Grants Programme supports UK-registered nonprofit organisations making a positive impact in areas such as social inclusion, health and wellbeing, education, environment, countryside, and heritage and conservation.
In the environment theme, the fund backs projects that protect and promote the natural world, including habitat restoration, species conservation, carbon reduction and storage, and circular economy initiatives. For the countryside, it invests in sustainable and regenerative agriculture, nature-friendly farming practices, and projects that improve life for rural communities.
Social inclusion grants focus on helping vulnerable and marginalised groups by addressing poverty, loneliness, and other social challenges. Health and wellbeing funding supports initiatives that improve physical and mental health, particularly for people with disabilities, life-limiting illnesses, or disadvantaged backgrounds. Heritage and conservation funding is dedicated to preserving historic and culturally significant buildings, supporting traditional craftsmanship, and promoting the sustainable regeneration of communities worldwide.
Education funding helps organisations create learning, training, and employability opportunities, aiming to close attainment gaps and broaden education through music, arts, sports, and outdoor activities. It also invests in teachers’ professional development.
Grants are available for up to £3,000 per year for a maximum of three years. Eligible applicants must be UK-registered nonprofits with annual incomes between £25,000 and £500,000, at least two years of activity, and less than six months of unrestricted free reserves. If the grant is for a project, its total cost must not exceed £50,000. Applicants must wait two years after any unsuccessful application or after the end of a previous award to reapply.
Funding is not available to individuals, public bodies, organisations that primarily re-grant funds, politically affiliated groups, or those with consistent late reporting histories without exceptional reasons. Capital expenditure is excluded except for community-based heritage projects that preserve historic buildings. Projects tackling food waste, food insecurity, or food poverty in the UK are also ineligible.
