Funding that puts children first

Gold for Kids exists to help children in the UK who are experiencing poverty, hardship, or crisis.

We work with trusted charities and community organisations that provide practical, emotional, and emergency support to the children who need it most.

If your organisation supports children in need and could benefit from a one-off grant, we’d love to hear from you.

PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY BEFORE OPENING THE APPLICATION FORM BELOW.

What we'll ask for

We’ll need a few key details to understand your work and how our grant will help:

Who you are, where you’re based, and what your organisation does
What the project is and who it will support
How the funds will be used, including a simple budget (we typically fund £1,500–£7,500)
What difference the project will make
How the impact will continue beyond our support
Any similar work you’ve done before
How you’ll keep us updated on progress (we love hearing how things go)

How it works

1. Check you’re a good fit

Take a moment to read through what we fund. We focus on practical, people-first projects that align with our mission.

2. Send in your application

Fill in the Google Form and submit it any time before the deadline for our next funding cycle.

3. We review all applications

Once the deadline closes, our grants committee reviews all submissions. We look at how closely your work aligns with our values, the potential impact, and how sustainable the project is.

4. We’ll be in touch

You’ll hear from us within a couple of weeks of our committee meeting. If you’re successful, we’ll let you know the next steps. If not, we’ll do our best to offer helpful feedback.

5. Share your progress

We ask all grant recipients to provide short updates at 6 and 12 months. We may also ask to visit or share your story—because the good you do deserves to be seen.
