The easyfundraising Impact Fund is a grant programme that provides small awards to help good causes with practical costs and projects, alongside the ongoing free donations supporters raise through easyfundraising.

Each grant is £500.

For the pilot in Spring 2026, we’re allocating £10,000 in total.

The fund is open to UK organisations only, in the following categories: 
  • Registered charities
  • Other not-for-profit organisations
  • Sports clubs and teams
  • Schools and education settings
  • Social enterprises and CICs
  • After-school and youth groups
  • Churches and religious organisations

 

These unrestricted grants are designed for practical needs—things like equipment, resources, volunteer costs, event expenses, small project funding, or other essential day-to-day costs that help you deliver your work.

Applications will be assessed against the following criteria: 

Community impact

  • How clearly the organisation explains what they will do with the £500 grant
Reach and beneficiaries
  • How clearly the organisation explains who will benefit from the funding
Lasting benefit
  • The potential for the grant to strengthen the organisation’s ongoing work or facilities

Complete the form above by midnight on Sunday 5th April.

We’ll use a fair and transparent selection approach, with a panel of easyfundraising staff, partners and fundraising professionals. We will select causes across a range of categories and geographical areas and will not discriminate based on size of organisation. Full criteria is explained within the aplication form above.

Please note, we won’t be able to provide individual feedback and the panel’s decision is final. 

We want to reinvest directly into the communities and causes we support, strengthen our commitment to the third sector, and provide an additional, tangible way to help organisations make an impact.

The Impact Fund is paid for by easyfundraising from a ring-fenced annual pot we set aside to support causes directly.

Because we want the funding to be accessible, fair, and spread across as many causes as possible - especially smaller, community organisations where a few hundred pounds can make a real difference quickly. It also helps us keep the process simple, make decisions faster, and get money out efficiently. 

No, your organisation does not need to be registered with easyfundraising to apply. 

 

We’re launching this as a pilot and will review it after the first year to learn what works best and how we can develop the programme in future.

No “catch”- the grant is there to support your work. We may invite funded causes to share a short update or story so we can celebrate the impact and inspire more support, but it won’t be treated as a marketing obligation.

We will share recipients and impact stories to celebrate the brilliant work causes are doing and encourage more people to support them. Recipients can opt out of this by request.

Successful organisations will be notified by email within 28 days of the application closing date. Grant payments will be made by bank transfer to successful organisations within 28 days of the later of:  
  • a) successful contact being made with the organisation, and
  • b) receipt of valid UK bank account details
