KFC Youth Foundation Community Grants Programme

Grants up to £3,000 per year for up to two years for not-for-profit groups with a turnover of less than £400,000 to deliver projects that empower economically disadvantaged young people to fulfill their potential and build a positive future. Registered charities, community interest companies, unincorporated clubs or associations, or unregistered charities can apply that:

• Benefit young people aged 11-25 years old.
• Support those in a position of economic disadvantage (including one of the following: care leavers, those experiencing homelessness, young carers, young parents, refugees, and young people at risk of or with experience of the criminal justice system).
• Empower young people to fulfill their potential and build a positive future by providing spaces that allow them to feel safe and secure, helping them unlock talent, build life skills, provide mentoring, and improve their chances to gain meaningful employment.
• Demonstrate positive results from their project within 12 months of KFC funding being received.

There is a two-stage application process. Groups must first submit an online Expression of Interest, including a two-minute video about their organisation, before being invited to submit a full application.

‍The next deadline for applications is 14 February 2025.
