In the Autumn of 2021, the Company announced the launch of its inaugural Charity Marketing Grants Programme, supported and funded by The Marketors' Trust. The initiative aims to inspire and empower smaller charities in launching impactful marketing campaigns in support of their respective causes. The total fund is £30,000, comprising two top grants of £10,000 and four grants of £2,500 each.
We’re excited to announce that applications for our 2025 Grants Programme are officially open! Full details on the application process and the eligibility criteria can be found on this page. For any queries please contact marketorscharitygrants@marketors.org
How it works
Applications are invited from charities registered with The Charity Commission for England and Wales, which have an annual income of between £10,000 and £200,000 and whose main charitable activities are focused in the UK.
There is a total grants fund of £30,000, which will be awarded as follows:
- Two top grants of £10,000 each
- Four grants of £2,500 each
These grants are for the purpose of funding marketing campaigns and are not available for staff costs, capital investment, hardware or infrastructure work or ongoing SEO/PPC activity, although the campaign can include an element of PPC or SEO. Examples of campaign proposals that would be eligible include:
- general fundraising campaigns
- activities aimed at increasing regular donations
- proposals for the recruitment of volunteers
- campaigns to raise awareness of the charity’s activities.
- Campaign proposals must be for a discrete activity that is time limited to no more than six months and which will be completed by the end of 2026.
All applications will be screened for adherence with the eligibility criteria.
A Programme Information Sheet giving full details of the Programme is available to download. Please read this before completing the Application Form.
There is also a Grant Flyer available to download.
Valid applications will be considered by a judging panel, which will shortlist a maximum of six for the two top grants of £10,000 and a maximum of six for the four smaller grants of £2,500.
Short-listed charities will be invited to attend virtually a meeting of the judging panel to present their proposals personally.
