BBC Children in Need advise that in this programme "we are looking for projects where a relatively small amount of money can make a big difference for children and young people. We are unlikely to fund applications which top up funding for salaries or larger projects where a small grant would only make a marginal impact on its success". **The next application deadline is 1 April 2013.** Both main and small grants programmes are open to not-for-profit organisations that work with disadvantaged children and young people of 18 years and under who live in the UK, the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands. www.bbc.co.uk/pudsey/grants _Photo: [Dan Taylor on Flickr.com](http://www.flickr.com/photos/dantaylor/294653325)_ * **[Invisible Grantmakers 2013 published](https://fundraising.co.uk/2013/03/21/invisible-grantmakers-2013-published/)**( 21 March 2013) * **[Nominet Trust invites more applications for funding technology for social good](https://fundraising.co.uk/2013/05/24/nominet-trust-invites-more-applications-for-funding-technology-for-social-good/)**( 24 May 2013) * **[Edge Fund opens for applications again](https://fundraising.co.uk/2013/09/18/edge-fund-opens-applications-again/)**( 18 September 2013)
