Comic Relief makes grants to address the root causes of poverty and injustice. The Trade Program promotes sustainable and equitable wealth creation for small-scale producers and workers, with an emphasis on Africa, especially in agriculture. Project grants are up to £1 million over five years; planning grants are up to £25 thousand for one year. Applications are invited from UK-registered charities. (Applicants who are not UK-registered charities seek approval from the Comic Relief grants team before applying.) The deadline for summary applications in Cycle 7 is 09 May 2012. Link |
