Comic Relief seeking Applications for Change Makers Programme (United Kingdom)

Deadline: 28-Aug-2020

The Comic Relief is seeking applications for the Change Makers Programme.

This funding opportunity is about looking to the future and making a bigger change. They are looking for organisations that will make a significant contribution to their sector – for example, whether that’s forging new ways of working in the wake of COVID-19, contributing evidence that will move things forward, cross-sector collaboration which recognises the way issues intersect, or advocacy and campaigning work.

Themes

Children Survive & Thrive
Gender Justice
Safe Place to Be – Homelessness
Safe Place to Be – Migration
Global Mental Health

Funding Information

Comic Relief will fund investments from £150,000 to £600,000
Funding is available for 3 to 5 years.

Eligibility Criteria

Comic Relief is inviting organisations to apply in one of two categories:

Small and medium-sized organisations that focus on equalities and are user-led. Your organisation must have an annual income of at least £75,000. User-led organisations are considered to be those where the majority of the leadership (i.e. at least half of senior team and trustees) are from the community(ies) the organisation serves.
Other medium-sized organisations based in the UK. In this case your organisation needs to have a minimum annual income of £250,000.
They will not accept applications from larger organisations with annual income greater than £10 million.

20% of the available funding is ring-fenced for efforts led by and working with BAME communities. Applications can be made by single applicants. Organisations can also apply in partnership, with a lead partner holding the funding.
