Funding available for core costs

New funding programmes have been announced by BBC Children in Need – including a grants stream offering funding for core costs.

The new grantmaking strategy announced by the organisation includes three streams.

  • It will continue to offer project based funding.
  • It will offer funding for core (organisational) costs as a separate grants stream.
  • In spring 2023, it will launch a funding stream for smaller, emerging organisations, which will be aimed at those who may need greater support to access the funding.

Groups and organisations will only be able to apply for one of these streams per year. Choose which stream is most suitable for your work and BBC Children in Need will provide more detailed information about them over the coming months, along with more details about our funding priorities at a local and regional level.
