Family run. Grant Making. London Focused
WELCOME TO OUR CHARITY
UPDATE FOR 2026
Change in our Grants Programme
Due to the number of applications we receive throughout the year we’re evolving how we operate. Starting in 2026, LIMI London will open its grant programme once a year. This shift enables us to review applications more intentionally and award grants with greater transparency and care. Applications submitted outside that window will not be considered.
Our next grant application window will open 2nd February to 13th March 2026.
Our Grants Programme
We award small grants of up to £5,000 per year, for up to three years. Our grants programme is dedicated to supporting London based registered nonprofit organisations that make a meaningful difference for children, families and the elderly at a local community level.
We value flexibility welcoming grant applications from small and medium sized organisations and community initiatives that don’t fit a rigid mould, as long as they align with our values.
We open for applications once a year on 2nd February to 13th March 2026.
