The KFC Youth Foundation supports grassroots organisations that empower young people by providing a safe space, diversionary activities or life skills. The grants are aimed at projects that support young people aged 11 to 25 in areas of high deprivation.
The funding is for programmes that create safe spaces, offer diversionary activities, and build life skills – from confidence and resilience to job readiness – to help young people feel secure, empowered, and ready for a positive future.
Youth-focused registered charities and CICs can apply for a grant of £3,000 a year over two years (£6,000 in total). Your organisation should have an income of no more than £400,000 a year.
