The Yapp Charitable Trust

Usually up to £3,000 for up to 3 years. Registered charities (annual expenditure of less than £40,000, established for 3 years or more). No deadline specified (Trustees meet 3 times per year - decision time can be up to 5 months from submission).

The Yapp Charitable Trust make grants (running costs and salaries) to small registered charities to sustain their existing work within the following areas:

• Elderly people.
• Children and young people aged 5 – 25.
• People with disabilities or mental health problems.
• Moral welfare – 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).

Priorities (applications that don't address at least two of these are unlikely to receive a grant):

• 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 preventive and aim to change opinion and behaviour 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.
