Charity Link Small Grants Scheme
The Trust Administration Team administers the Charity Link Small Grants Scheme, which offers grants of up to £500 to charitable organisations in Leicester, Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire.
Applications to the scheme are considered four times a year, in April, July, October and January. Deadline dates can be obtained from the Trust Administration team. We advise you to submit your application at least two months in advance of your project start date. You can apply for help with the costs of a specific project, or towards your operational costs.

To apply
Please submit a completed Small Grants Scheme Application Form.
Please also download the Small Grants Scheme Guidelines and read these carefully before completing the Application Form. You will also need to send us a copy of your organisation’s most recent annual accounts.
Read the Terms & Conditions of Grant.
Your completed Application Form can be emailed to trustadmin@charity-link.org or sent to:
Trust Administration,
Charity Link,
20a Millstone Lane,
