The Boring Fund will be open for applications in November.

If your small UK charity needs (up to) £200 to cover something boring like insurance or web hosting, take a look.

They welcome donations too.

The Boring Fund - Open Collective

We support small non-profit organisations (UK) by only funding the really boring (but essential) stuff like insurance, accountancy or admin
