Grant News
Social entrepreneurs across the UK who are committed to making a positive impact in their communities can apply for grants of up to £18,000. The funding, which is being made available through Unltd, offers support through two distinct funding streams.
- The Funding Futures Programme – This programme is aimed at young social entrepreneurs aged 16 to 30, specifically those working to improve financial inclusion.
- The Millennium Awards Trust – Open to social entrepreneurs aged 16 and above, this stream welcomes applications from all sectors, provided the venture demonstrates clear social impact.
UnLtd is particularly interested in supporting innovative social ventures that address inequality and support marginalised communities. The organisation strongly encourages applications from disabled entrepreneurs and those from Black, Asian, or minority ethnic backgrounds, with at least 50% of awards dedicated to these groups.
In addition to financial support, successful applicants receive a package of tailored support, including access to:
- A dedicated support manager
- Peer learning opportunities
- Expert advice
- Legal consultancy
Applications are reviewed on a quarterly basis throughout 2025–2026, with decision dates scheduled for June, September, and December 2025, and March 2026. Funding decisions are typically made within three months of application submission.
The next application deadline is 30th June 2025.
