Funding Friday
Steel Charitable Trust: UK Under-26 Fund
Charities can apply for funding for projects that focus on creating educational and/or access opportunities for children and young people facing challenging circumstances. This encompasses those in circumstances, groups or locations that face economic challenges, social marginalisation or poor outcomes in later life.
All sorts of work could be funded through this programme, as long as the beneficiaries are in the UK and are wholly, or mainly, under the age of 26.
Grants are available to registered charities with an income of at least £50,000. You can apply for between £10,000 and £25,000. The funding is for specific projects but this could include revenue or capital costs as part of the project.
The first deadline is 15 January 2025 followed by 15 April, 15 July and 15 October 2025.
The Gibbons Trusts
Charities and not-for-profit organisations are invited to apply for grants from the Gibbons Family Trust. The Charity have a preference for helping East Devon residents, however applications from any area of Devon will be considered. Small and local Devon organisations are given priority over large, national charities applying for Devon beneficiaries.
The Gibbons Family Trust awards grants to support children and young people under the age of 25.
Charities, not-for-profit organisations such as schools, and individuals (via a not-for-profit organisation) can apply to the Gibbons Family Trust.
The Trustees meet at the end of the following months: January, March, May, July, August, November. The deadline for each meeting is the last day of the previous month.
