- accountancy and audit
- fundraising
- commmunications
- governance/compliance costs.
Organisations that have received funding in the past include:
- emergency relief services (e.g., foodbanks)

- housing and homelessness support
- support for vulnerable population
- employment and income assistance.
Funding applications open Saturday 1st November and the deadline is Sunday 30th November 2025.
