In 2025, small charities in the UK are being given a new chance to receive much needed funding. CharityJob, the well known online job board for charities, has announced that it will donate £70,000 this year to help smaller organisations continue their important work. This donation is part of CharityJob’s long tradition of supporting the charity sector, not only by helping organisations hire staff but also by giving back financially.
This is very good news for small charities, as many of them work with very limited budgets. Often they struggle to pay for everyday costs like staff, rent, or community projects. Having extra money, even a small amount, can make a very big difference.
Who Are CharityJob?
CharityJob is the UK’s largest job board for the charity sector. It was started in February 2000 by Raya and Steve Wexler, who wanted to create a space where charities could post job roles and find the right people to join their teams. When charities need to hire staff, they can post vacancies on the CharityJob website. Many people who want to work in charities visit the site to look for opportunities. Over the years, CharityJob has become the first choice for thousands of charities, both small and large.
But CharityJob is not only about recruitment. The organisation has always believed in giving back to the sector that it serves. For this reason, a part of its profits each year is donated directly to small charities. This makes CharityJob more than just a business — it is also a supporter and partner to the charity community.
A 25-Year Tradition of Giving Back
The year 2025 is very special for CharityJob because it marks 25 years since the organisation was founded. Over this time, the company has given away a large amount of money to small charities. In total, £1,423,830 has been donated to 119 different charities since CharityJob began this tradition. This shows a very strong and long-lasting commitment to the sector. The donations are not one-off acts of kindness but part of a continuous effort to share success with those who need it most.
Small charities often find it hard to access large grants or big fundraising events. That is why support from organisations like CharityJob can be life-changing. Each year, the chosen charities receive money that they can use to pay for services, projects, or even just daily running costs.
£70,000 Donation for 2025
For 2025, CharityJob has announced a total donation of £70,000. This money will be shared between a number of small charities. The exact amount each charity will get depends on how many apply and are chosen. To make the process fair, only charities that are members of CharityConnect are able to apply. CharityConnect is another platform created by CharityJob, and it is completely free to join. It works like an online community for people working in the charity sector. Members can discuss challenges, share advice, and support each other.
How to Apply
Applications are now open, and small charities are invited to submit their details before the deadline of Friday 26th September 2025. Once the applications are reviewed, successful charities will be told the results in the week starting Monday 3rd November 2025.
The process is simple. A small charity must be signed up as a member of CharityConnect, which is free. The charity then submits an application form with its details before the deadline. The applications are reviewed, and winners are announced in November. The chosen charities receive their share of the £70,000 donation.
This system is designed to make sure that the money goes directly to small organisations that really need it. For more details, you can visit CharityJob’s website.
Why This Matters for Small Charities
Small charities play a very big role in communities all across the UK. They often provide services that bigger organisations cannot reach. For example, a small charity might run a food bank in a local area, or offer mental health support to a group that does not get much attention elsewhere. However, these small charities often do not have big fundraising teams. They may rely on local donations, small events, or just a few volunteers. This means they sometimes struggle to keep going, even when their work is very important.
When an organisation like CharityJob offers funding, it can help a small charity survive and grow. The money may be used to pay staff salaries, buy equipment, or support community projects. In some cases, this kind of funding can even allow a small charity to expand its services and reach more people in need.
The Words of the Co-Founder
Raya Wexler, Co-founder of CharityJob and CharityConnect, explained why these donations are so important. She said:
“When a charity posts a role with us, they’re not only finding the right person to drive their mission forward, they’re also enabling us to give back to the sector. We’re proud to stand alongside small charities doing extraordinary work and we warmly encourage those who qualify to apply. It’s an honour to be part of a community that transforms lives every day.”
These words show the vision of CharityJob. It is not just a place for recruitment but also a partner that truly cares about the success of small charities.
Key Takeaway
For small charities across the UK, the chance to apply for a share of £70,000 is a big opportunity. Funding like this can help them continue their work and make a greater difference in their local areas.
CharityJob has spent 25 years helping charities both through recruitment and financial support. Their work proves that when businesses give back, they can make the whole charity sector stronger. Small charities that are interested should not miss the chance to apply before the deadline.
