The UK Fund provides large grants to help proven projects grow bigger. You can get funding if your work has real impact and can scale up. The money is for projects that change systems and benefit communities across the UK. The fund looks for work that is already proven to work well. You need to show your project can grow and reach more people. Applications appear to be accepted on a rolling basis. The exact funding amounts are not specified but are described as large grants. No specific deadlines are mentioned so you may be able to apply at any time.
Key requirements:
- Must have proven track record
- Project must demonstrate ability to scale
- Must show community benefit
