This IATI activity file represents grant holders receiving funding from the Small Charities Challenge Fund (SCCF) for their projects in Nepal. The SCCF is the first fund from the Department for International Development (DFID) tailored to the needs of small, grassroots British charities doing outstanding development work. SCCF was launched within the existing UK Aid Direct Fund, which is DFID’s flagship challenge fund designed to support the UK’s commitments to achieving the Global Goals. SCCF is open to small UK-registered charities and not-for-profit organisations. Grants of up to £50,000 are available for projects of up to 2 years. The SCCF welcomes applications for projects strengthening the capacity of grassroots development organisations by working with the poor, vulnerable and most marginalised to carry out work in priority countries towards achieving the Global Goals.
