Pass The Plate Grants

Funding is available for non-profit organisations and schools to deliver initiatives such as breakfast clubs, food banks, and holiday hunger schemes that improve access to regular, nutritious meals for those facing poverty or disability. Priority will be given to projects benefiting children up to age 25 years and projects can be capital or revenue.

Key Criteria

• The project must be based in the UK and enhance and support the lives of children and young people that are disadvantaged physically, mentally, or socially.
• If a project is a physical, tangible asset it must have a minimum predicted life-span of five years, be non-transferable and of a permanent nature.
• Grants will not be considered for salaries, administration costs, professional fees and on-going overheads related to a capital project.
• If a project is educational, health and wellbeing or disability sports focused there must be a key educational, sporting or physical activity element preferably rugby to engage children and young people.
• For revenue projects grants will be considered for kit and equipment, salaries and administration costs.
• The grant must be spent within a 12-month period from the issue of the grant letter.

Amounts available

No minimum or maximum grant amounts are stated. However it is unlikely that a project of a physical nature that is under £2,000 will have sufficient substance and scale to qualify under the 'projected lifespan' rule.
