New Funding Round Open for UK Tampon Tax Fund

Charities and organisations with charitable purposes from across the UK can now apply for funding of £1 million or more from the latest round of the UK government’s Tampon Tax Fund. The Fund allocates monies generated from the VAT on sanitary projects to improve the lives of vulnerable and disadvantaged women and girls.

Applications should focus on one of the following categories:
• violence against women and girls,
• young women’s mental health,
• or the general programme.

Applications for this round of funding which include activities that seek to address the consequences of Covid-19 for disadvantaged women and girls are also welcome.

Grants may be for one- or two-year projects, and separate applications for more than one project may be submitted.
A total of £15 million is available for this funding round.

The deadline for applications is midnight on the 31st May 2020.
