Funding Application Success Rates

Charities and not-for-profit community organisations continue to face a challenging operating environment, with increasing demand for services and rising costs. At the same time, the availability of public and philanthropic funding has tightened, leading to greater competition for grants.

Across our programmes, the average success rate for funding applications is 1 in 7. The figures below provide further detail on our success rates from April 2023 - March 2025.
