Grant News
Small to medium-sized not-profit organisations, including UK registered charities, community interest companies, social enterprises, and credit unions will be able to apply for grants of up to £10,000 to improve people’s money management skills and make a lasting impact on the way people think, behave & manage their money.
This funding is being made available through the MSE Charity, which was founded by Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis and aims to support activities that improve financial education and capability across the UK.
Examples of activities that could be funded include:
- money management workshops - understanding the basics, how money works in the UK, online banking, staying financially safe, household budgeting, how to generate and supplement low incomes
- training volunteers to deliver workshops or to provide peer-support to others
- upskilling existing staff to access financial capability training to support their clients directly
- providing access to financial inclusion activities for people who are disadvantaged in anyway such as by age, disability, ethnicity or gender
To be eligible, applicants must have an annual income between £10,000 and £600,000, and unrestricted reserves under six months of their running costs.
There is a two-stage application process, beginning with an eligibility quiz and a brief outline proposal, followed by a full application for shortlisted organisations. Stage 1 applications will be accepted from the 2nd July 2025 to the 10th July 2025.
Interested organisations can apply through the MSE Charity website, where they will find the eligibility quiz, online application form, and guidance notes.
