There is no limit on the amount of money that a charity can request. However, the Foundation is a small charity and generally will not make awards of over £50,000 (per year). Funding can be requested for up to 3 years for any particular project.

THE YAPP CHARITABLE TRUST
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. Deadline 30 September 2008 (for consideration in November).
