What We Fund
Our grant sizes range from £15,000 – £50,000 and for organisations we know well, we tend to offer unrestricted, multi-year grants.
If you are new to Two Magpies Fund, your first grant is likely to be less than £15,000.

"The unrestricted, multi-year funding from Two Magpies Fund has been transformational for our organisation. It's allowed us to focus on the women and families we serve, rather than constantly chasing the next grant."
