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.

That Yapp consider applications carefully. Our grant was for ongoing running of the charity so funding needn't be for a special additional project.

The application process was logical and did not take an excessive amount of time - I understood why all questions were asked. Subsequent interaction with the funder was clear and fair.

Funded for lesser amount - applied in 2023
YAPP have been really helpful in offering a grant over a three year period. We are a small charity with a turnover of just £30K per annum but the £2K per year over three years has been really helpful to us in contributing to our running costs and funding a range of activities for our beneficiaries.
YAPP have been great and we would recommend them to organisations thinking of making an application for funding.

No advice at all - it would have been great to receive all the money we requested but we totally understand the demands all charitable trusts have on thier resources and we were more than happy to receive a grant of £2K pa for three years to assist us with our work.
