Crisis funding
We understand that financial challenges can arise unexpectedly, putting pressure on charitable organisations delivering vital services in Surrey. Our Crisis Funding is designed to provide limited emergency support to help organisations bridge short-term cash flow gaps, ensuring they can continue operating while developing long-term sustainability.
Emergency support for charitable organisations
Crisis funding is typically available in the region of £10,000.
Who can apply?
This funding is available to charitable organisations facing urgent financial difficulties. Applicants must be able to demonstrate that:
✔ The funding will make a material difference to their ability to continue operating.
✔ They have a clear plan for sustainability and securing future income.
✔ The crisis is a temporary funding gap rather than an ongoing financial issue.
Please note: We cannot award a grant if there is no strategy in place to improve financial sustainability.
How to apply
If your organisation is experiencing a financial crisis and meets the criteria above, please contact us as soon as possible at grants@cfsurrey.org.uk to discuss your situation.
Our team will assess applications on a case-by-case basis, prioritising those where funding will have the greatest impact in stabilising the organisation and enabling it to move towards long-term resilience.
We are here to help Surrey’s charitable sector remain strong, adaptable, and sustainable.
