New DFID-funded Small Charities Challenge Fund launched

A new challenge fund from the Department for International Development (DFID) designed to strengthen grassroots development organisations working with the poor, vulnerable and most marginalised has been launched.

The Small Charities Challenge Fund (SCCF) will support Britain’s small non-profit groups, to scale-up and increase the reach and efficiency of their projects.

Grants of up to £50,000 will be available for projects of up to 2 years, and applications for funding can be submitted from 5 July 2017 via this website.

Applications will be accepted at any time and the first assessment will be in October (and every 6 months thereafter).
