Yapp Charitable Trust
We make grants for running costs and salaries to small registered charities in England and Wales to help sustain their existing work. We will not fund work that does not focus specifically on one of our priority groups. Applicants that reflect our grant making policy have the best chance of success. We offer grants only to registered charities with a total annual expenditure of less than £40,000.

Funded for lesser amount - applied in 2020
The Yapp Trust was rare among grant funders to provide grants for running costs to very small charities and grass-roots organisations, which could be a lifeline for these groups. This is also because they provide the total amount spread out over 2-3 years, so the charity if successful can then expect an annual payment for three subsequent years which helps to provide some confidence and financial security.

Provide funding to small charities for running and management costs.
