The MSE Charity is dedicated to supporting UK voluntary groups deliver financial life skills, which make a lasting impact on the way people think, behave & manage their money.

We prefer to fund small to medium-sized non-profit organisations with a constitution for example registered Charities, CICs, Credit Unions, excluding statutory organisations.

Organisations should have an annual income under £600,000 and have less than six months free reserves.

Between January 2017 and March 2024 - we invited organisations to apply for funding to deliver financial capability projects under four set themes.  These themes were Building and Developing Resilience, Living with Long-Term Challenges, Raising the Next Generation and Life Changes. 

Update June 2024 - Following a period of strategic review, the Trustees decided to re-focus the grant rounds to be more in alignment with their vision. To fund the delivery of activities which make a lasting impact of the way people think, behave and manage their money.  For more details please see our New Grants Programme How to Apply and Funding Frequently Asked Questions pages.
