The Yapp Charitable Trust - apply by 30th September 2008



The Yapp Charitable Trust makes grants to small registered charities
in England and Wales, whose annual expenditure is less than £60,000.
Charities must have been fully constituted and operating for at least
three years.



Grants are for core running costs and salaries and are to provide
continuation funding for established work only.  The Trust does not
offer funding for any new projects or special events nor for capital
expenditure on buildings or equipment.



This year they plan to give about £500,000 in about 100 grants.



Grants are for work with:

- elderly people;

- children and young people aged 5 to 25;

- people with disabilities or mental health problems;

- people trying to overcome life-limiting problems of a social rather
than medical origin, such as addiction, relationship difficulties,
abuse, a history of offending.



Grants are also made to support charities' work in education and
learning, (including lifelong learning).



Priority is given to work that is unattractive to the general public
or unpopular with other funders, helps improve the lives of
marginalised people and makes effective use of volunteers.



Current criteria and examples of recent grants are on the website.
Grants are for up to three years.  Most are for more than one year.
Amounts are up to £3,000 a year.



Applications are accepted all year with the following further closing
dates in 2008 30 September 2008 (for consideration in November).
