Guidance on your Grant
Important Update about our Grantmaking
As part of our ongoing commitment to improving our systems and processes, BBC Children in Need are transitioning to a new grantmaking system. This transition will take place throughout 2025 and we will launch our new system by the end of September. During this period there will be some disruption to our grant programmes.
As a result BBC Children in Need are no longer accepting new Expressions of Interest applications until we launch our new grantmaking system, by the end of September 2025.
Your current online account (also known as the grantee portal) will close on 25th July 2025. We will launch our new grantee portal by the end of September 2025.
We want to minimise the disruption this transition will have on all our applicants and grantees. If you are a current applicant or grantee then we will be contacting you directly with information about how this affects you.
When we launch our new grantmaking system, we will also have some changes to our policies that will affect who can apply for a BBC Children in Need grant. We will update our website with details before we reopen in September.

If you have been awarded a grant from BBC Children in Need – well done! Every year we receive far more applications than we can fund, so congratulations on getting this far.
