Yapp Charitable Trust (UK) - Deadline: Rolling
We only offer grants to registered charities with a total annual expenditure of less than £40,000,
who are undertaking work with our priority groups:
• Elderly people,
• Children and young people aged 5-25
• People with physical impairments, learning difficulties or mental health challenges,
• Social welfare – people trying to overcome life-limiting problems of a social, rather than a medical, origin (such as addiction, relationship difficulties, abuse, offending),
• Education and learning (with a particular interest in people who are educationally disadvantaged, whether adults or children).
We will not fund work that does not focus on one of the above priority groups. We prioritise:
• Work that is unattractive to the general public or unpopular with other funders,
• Services that help to improve the lives of marginalised, disadvantaged or isolated people.
• Applicants that can demonstrate an effective use of volunteers.
• Charities that seek to be preventative and aim to change opinion and behavior through raising awareness of issues, education, and campaigning.
• Applicants that can demonstrate (where feasible) an element of self-sustainability by charging subscriptions/fees to service users.
Applicants that do not address at least two of the above are unlikely to receive a grant.
We only make grants for ongoing core funding. We define core funding as the costs associated with regular activities or services that have been ongoing for at least a year.
We cannot fund new projects, extra services or additional delivery costs. This includes creating a paid post for work that is currently undertaken on a voluntary basis or rent for premises that are currently cost free. We can only offer grants to registered charities that have been formally established for a minimum of three years.
Newly registered charities may apply by the organisation must have appointed a management committee and adopted a governing document at least three years ago.
