MOPAC Victims Small Grants Fund 2027 - 2029

London Community Foundation

£20,000 - £200,000

The MOPAC Victims Small Grants Fund is open for applications through the London Community Foundation. It supports smaller, community-based and specialist organisations that help victims of crime across London. It suits organisations that are embedded in the communities they serve, including groups led by and for people who share a lived experience or identity. It also welcomes specialist organisations that are not led by people with lived experience but have strong community links, relevant expertise and a proven track record. The fund specifically, but not exclusively, wants to extend support for Black and minoritised communities, disabled people, LGBTQI+ people, people with insecure or unknown immigration status, male victim-survivors of domestic abuse and sexual violence, children and young people, faith-based communities, people who have experienced hate crime, bereaved families, people involved in prostitution and older people. You can apply for a two-year grant of between £20,000 and £200,000, which works out at £10,000 to £100,000 per year. A total of £2,000,000 is available. Funded activity can start from the week beginning 1 February 2027 and must finish by 31 January 2029. Applications close at 2pm on 2 November 2026. You will need to pass a short online eligibility check before you can reach the full application form. One practical point: there is no income threshold, but organisations with an annual income of less than £500,000 will be prioritised.

This fund aims to increase opportunities for children and young people to take part in sport, movement and performing arts in Newcastle.

You can apply for up to £10,000. The fund is open for applications now and closes on 2 November 2026. Note that some other funds on the same page close earlier, on 19 October 2026, so make sure you are looking at the right closing date for this one. If you have not applied to the Community Foundation before, you will need an account on its grantee portal first. It is worth registering early so that nothing slows you down close to the closing date. The funder also has a page for new applicants where you can check that you and your activity meet its eligibility criteria, plus FAQs and a Help and Support page if you need extra help to apply. The listing on the page is brief, so read the full fund details through the "Read more" link before you start your application. If this fund is not the right fit, the Community Foundation says organisations in Tyne and Wear or Northumberland can make a general application at any time of year.
