Charities are invited to apply for grants from a £70.9 million pot, distributed through the National Lottery Community Fund.
The funding is part of the £101.5 million pledged to the sector in the spring budget.
Small and medium-sized charities, social enterprises and community organisations in England, with an annual turnover of “between £10,000 and around £1m”, are eligible to apply for grants between £10,000 and £75,000.
Applicant organisations must offer at least one critical service: food and emergency supplies, emergency shelter, safe spaces, warmth, and financial or housing advice.
Organisations must also be facing both increased demand for their critical services and increased costs of delivering them.
Charities can apply for funding to cover the costs of delivering existing services between 24 July 2023 and 31 March 2024, including paying for rent, utilities, staff and volunteers.
They can also spend the funds on adapting or expanding services from the point of award until the end of March 2024.
