Find Funds: Children, Young People & Families

Funding for All offers Kent & Medway charities and voluntary sector organisations mentoring and resources to help increase their chances of fundraising success. That’s why we’ve created a grants database for groups to access at any time, completely free.

By using the filters below, quickly search for local and national funding sources that are currently accepting applications.

If you need some support putting together an application, take a look at our mentoring programme or our upcoming events.
