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.
