Wooden Spoon Society’s Capital Grants Programme (UK & Ireland) - Deadline: Rolling
Schools and not-for-profit organisations have the opportunity to apply for funding through the Wooden Spoon Society’s Capital Grants programme.
Wooden Spoon is the British and Irish Rugby charity that supports mentally and physically disadvantaged children. Each year the charity supports around 70 projects.
Through the programme funding is available for:
• Buildings and extensions,
• Equipment and activity aids,
• Sensory rooms and gardens,
• Playgrounds and sports areas,
• Soft playrooms.
The funding available is for capital items only and will not support revenue costs such as staffing and other ongoing costs. There is no maximum grant limit but projects under £5,000 are unlikely to be considered.
Since being founded in 1983 Wooden Spoon has made grants of over £28 million to more than 1,000 projects. If the project is educational or disability sports-focused, there must be a key rugby element to engage children and young people.
Applications can be submitted at any time. With the current situation, much of Wooden Spoon’s fundraising has been put on hold and therefore the available funding for projects has been reduced. The Wooden Spoon Society suggest as a first step you complete their expression of wish form for an initial assessment.
