The Wasps Legends Charitable Foundation annual grant and long lunch event grant application process is now closed. We continue to accept applications for small grants which are reviewed on a case by case basis.
The Foundation now operates 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 (typically up to £2,500) is awarded to specific cases throughout the year at the discretion of the Trustees of the Wasps Legends Charitable Foundation.
Our annual grant and long lunch event grant process is now closed. Please check back here for updates on future grant opportunities. Meanwhile, the Foundation continues to accept applications for small grants which are considered on a case by case basis.
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.
