The Leathersellers’ Foundation will reopen its Small Grants Programme at 10am on Monday 15 December 2025. This rolling fund offers one-off grants of up to £5,000 for charities supporting vulnerable people in areas of high deprivation across the UK.

Applicants must be registered charities with an annual income under £200,000. This fund is not open to: Community Interest Companies (CICs), capital projects, medical research, hospices, and services which charge participants.

Please note: each application window closes after 40 submissions, and demand is extremely high – the November round filled in under 30 minutes. Applicants are strongly advised to prepare offline using the Word template before the application portal opens.

Organisations who have previously received a grant from the Small Grants Programme must wait 12 months from the offer (or rejection) date before reapplying.
