Funded by Money Saving Expert, the MSE Charity offers a small number of grants twice a year to small not-for-profit organisations based and working in the UK. The funding is to help them deliver activities within the UK which make a lasting impact on how people think, behave and manage their money.

Grants of between £2,000 and £10,000 are available. It is anticipated that less than 10 grants will be awarded in the winter round.

The funding can be used for activities related to increasing personal financial capability. Some examples are:

Money management workshops.
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 any way such as by age, disability, ethnicity or gender.

UK registered charities, community interest companies (CICs), credit unions, not-for-profit companies limited by guarantee, and social enterprise companies can apply.

Applicants must be UK based, established and active for at least 18 months, have a total annual income of between £10,000 and £600,000, a governing document, a governing body of at least three unconnected individuals and a bank account in the group’s name.

There are two funding rounds per year (winter and summer).

There is a two-stage application process.

Stage one proposals will be accepted from 19 January to 26 January 2026 (17:00). For more information, please visit Home
