The Wasps Legends Charitable Foundation are currently accepting grant applications for our annual grant and our long lunch event grant.
We are now inviting applications for our revised Grant Programme. Following on from our previous approach of issuing a main grant split across two years and various smaller grants, the Foundation will now be operating three main funding streams:
The Annual Grant will be awarded on an annual basis to support a specific project of an organisation. The maximum grant available will be £25,000 and is subject to our funding terms. This is available to apply for in July each year, with our recipient announced at our annual Long Lunch fundraiser.
The Event Grant is awarded ahead of each fundraising event, including the Wasps Legends Long Lunch, Rugby Golf Classic and Hall of Fame dinner. The grant provides the recipient with a minimum of 30% (subject to a post event review) of the fundraising profit raised at the event. This is available to apply for approximately three months prior to each event, with our recipient announced in the lead up to the event as our charity partner.
The small grant is awarded to specific cases throughout the year at the discretion of the Trustees of the Wasps Legends Charitable Foundation.
We are delighted to advise that we are launching the application process for both our Annual Grant and Event Grant (Long Lunch 2024). The deadline to apply is Friday 13th September 2024.
Beneficiaries must be nominated by one of our members (this will be verified within the application form). It is recommended the member directs their chosen beneficiary to complete the application form which is accessible via the the "apply here" button in the banner below. Please note, all our grants are subject to the Guidelines for Funding Applications which you must accept as part of your application process below. Further details, including the timelines are included within these guidelines.
