Published on: September 23, 2026

The easyfundraising Impact Fund is back for a second round, but this time there are unrestricted grants of £1,000 available for community organisations to apply for – double the amount awarded in the spring. If you applied previously, you CAN apply again, whether you were successful or not.

When to apply: Thursday 24th Sep – Sunday 8th November

Who can apply:

The fund is open to UK based:

  • Registered charities
  • Other not-for-profit organisations
  • Sports clubs and teams
  • Schools and education settings
  • Social enterprises and CICs
  • After-school and youth groups
  • Churches and religious organisations

How it’s awarded: The application form is straightforward. Grants will be awarded to organisations that best explain how they would use the £1000.

These grants are unrestricted, so can be used wherever it’s needed most, helping your organisation continue the amazing work you do.

About easyfundraising:
easyfundraising is a simple way for your organisation to raise extra funds from everyday online shopping. When your community shops with over 8,000 retailers through easyfundraising, the retailer makes a donation to your organisation — at no extra cost to anyone. From a weekly grocery shop to booking a holiday, it all helps generate free donations.

Donations are paid to you every three months, and because they’re unrestricted, you can spend the money on whatever your organisation needs most. Register for free funding with easyfundraising here: https://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/southend/
