The Boring Fund

The Boring Fund


Closing: 30th November ’25

£200 grants available for small UK-based non-profit organisations (charities, CICs, limited companies, constituted community/voluntary groups) towards hard-to-fund core costs like insurance, web hosting, admin time, accountancy, training, and office costs. Organisations must have annual turnover under £150,000, 0-3 paid staff, no fundraising team, and no confirmed core funding. Schools, PTAs, individuals, sole traders, and for-profit companies cannot apply.

30+ grants will be awarded through a random number generator selection process, with applications checked for eligibility by at least 2 people. The fund prioritises social justice values and supports organisations led by or working alongside LGBTQ+, disabled, global majority, refugee, and migrant communities. Applications must confirm commitment to trans inclusivity and removing structural inequalities.

Simple 5-minute application process with no reporting requirements. Successful applicants will be notified by 19 December 2025. Grants cannot fund already-paid costs, VAT that can be reclaimed, religious activities, alcohol, or gifts to individuals.
