International Grants
APPLYING FOR AN INTERNATIONAL GRANT
Comic Relief’s international grant-making started in response to the terrible famine in the Horn of Africa in 1984. We continue to focus most of our grants programmes in Africa, and also fund projects in a limited number of countries outside of Africa, targeting street and working children and young people.
If you wish to apply for international funding from Comic Relief, or already have a grant from us, this is where you can find out what you need to do.
