Money Saving Expert (MSE) Charity Opens for New Round

Community

20 June 2022/Categories: Grants_and_Funding

Funding for projects which support people from vulnerable communities to develop money-management and other financial skills.

Due to the cost-of-living crisis, MSE Charity has brought forward its usual September funding round and is now accepting applications under the theme of ‘Building and Developing Resistance’.

Small to medium-sized UK non-profit organisations with a constitution can apply, including UK registered charities, community interest companies, social enterprises and credit unions.

To be eligible, applicants should:

  • Have an annual income of less than £750,000.
  • Have unrestricted reserves that are less than six months of their running costs.

During this round, projects should focus on providing urgent money guidance and emergency debt help to those in need of support through the cost-of-living crisis.

There is particular interest in applications which use memorable, innovative, and or creative ways of delivering financial life skills which will make a lasting impact on the way people think, behave and manage their money.

The deadline to apply is 22 July 2022 (or as soon as 40 applications have been received).

 

How To Apply

Applications are usually invited twice a year: in February and September. Each grant round is limited to the first 40 accepted applications.

In light of the cost of living crisis, the next grant round, Building and Developing Resilience, will open on 20 June 2022 and close on 22 July 2022 (or sooner if 40 applications have been accepted). Decisions are expected by 21 September 2022.

A grant eligibility quiz, online application form, guidance notes and FAQs are available on the MSE Charity website. The application guidance document changes for each round and groups should make sure they have read it carefully before starting the application form.

Applications are only accepted electronically and only within the grant round dates.
