I am pleased to let you know about DFID’s Small Charities Challenge Fund (SCCF), an exciting funding opportunity for small charities across East Worthing and Shoreham and beyond
SCCF is the first DFID fund designed specifically for small British charities. It provides grants for development organisations with an annual income of £250,000 or less working in priority countries to deliver the Global Goals. Grants of up to £50,000 are available for projects of two years or less.
To date, £2.7million has been committed to 55 small charities delivering a diverse range of projects. These include providing prosthetic limbs to amputees in the Gambia; supporting landless youth to start bee-keeping businesses in Ethiopia and transforming the lives of carers in Bangladesh.
The closing date for the next review of applications is Thursday 28 March 2019, so if you know of - or run - a shall charity within our constituency, why not consider applying? More information, including an example application form, can be found online at www.ukaiddirect.org/apply/sccf/.
