The Yapp Charitable Trust offers grants of up to £3k per annum to registered charities with an annual income of under £50,000 per year.
They will only fund work that focuses on one of their priority groups:
- Elderly people
- Children and young people
- People with physical impairments, learning difficulties or mental health challenges
- Welfare of people trying to overcome life-limiting problems of a social, rather than 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)
Grants are only offered for ongoing core funding. The Trust defines core funding as the costs associated with regular activities or services that have been ongoing for at least a year. They do not fund new work or stand-alone projects.
Priority is given to;
- Charities that are delivering services in areas of high deprivation
- 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
- Applicants that can demonstrate (where feasible) an element of self
sustainability by charging subscriptions/fees to service users.
There are no deadlines but decisions are made 3 times a year so you may have to wait up to 5 months to hear back.
