You may well know that BBC Children in Need gives grants to organisations which are working to make a positive change to the lives of disadvantaged children and young people across the UK. But did you know that we don’t just give grants to charities but to a range of not-for-profit groups?
BBC Children in Need accepts applications from social enterprises including community interest companies and industrial and provident societies. Our principle that we only fund not-for-profit organisations is paramount when considering applications from social enterprises. You will need to convince us – generally through your constituted objects and dividend arrangements – that your main reason for operating is to make a difference for disadvantaged children and young people and not to maximise shareholder profits. We will also need to see that you have a restriction on distributing your profits.
To find out more about what we fund and how to apply, visit our website bbc.co.uk/pudsey.
