Grant Giving
The Wasps Legends Charitable Foundation Annual and Event Grant application process is now closed but the Foundation continues to accept applications for small grants.
Our Grant Programme
The Foundation now operates three main funding streams:
Annual Grant
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.
Event Grant
The Event Grant is awarded ahead of each fundraising event, including the Wasps Legends Long Lunch, Rugby Golf Classic (both Spain and UK) 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.
Small Grant
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.
