The National Benevolent Charity

About The National Benevolent Charity

The National Benevolent Charity focuses on relieving poverty and financial hardship through small, practical grants to local frontline organisations and, in some cases, direct support to individuals in need. Its giving is highly place-based, with a strong concentration in Bristol, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, and Swindon, and it often supports organisations providing crisis help, financial resilience, and pathways into employment or training. NBC stands out for combining invite-only partnership funding with a limited number of open, one-year unrestricted and small project grants.
