Reach us on

Applications are open for Theirworld Small Grants Programme 2026. Theirworld’s Small Grants Programme gives grants of up to £10,000 to registered charities and non-profits helping disadvantaged and overlooked young people in the UK and around the world.

Ending the global education crisis means helping children all over the world get better access to learning and support services. Theirworld helps to fund initiatives that share our vision of improving access to education and development for every young person. Theirworld’s Small Grants Programme was set up in 2004 with the purpose of helping organisations all over the world carry out their work to support and empower youth.

The programme focuses on issuing grants to groups that aim to improve community health and education, particularly in relation to children and caregivers. Small grants typically range from £1,000 to £10,000, and usually take less time to both apply for and be awarded than more substantial grants. They can be a way for community organisations to pilot new work or get a project off the ground. Theirworld is proud to have been able to provide funding for dozens of programmes, projects and initiatives in the UK and around the world that share our vision of a world where every child has the best start in life, a safe place to learn and skills for the future.

Grant Value and Structure

Funding ranges from £1,000 to £10,000 per project. Grants are typically disbursed as a single instalment, though multi-year funding may be considered in specific cases. All funded organisations are required to submit mid-term and final reports.
