Grant Giving
The Wasps Legends Charitable Foundation Hall of Fame Event Grant application process is now open. Applications for small grants continue to be accepted on an ongoing basis, while the Annual Grant opportunity will reopen in July 2026.
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 (in both Spain and the UK), and the Hall of Fame Dinner. The grant provides recipients with a target minimum allocation of 30% of the fundraising profit, subject to final confirmation following a post-event review of the funds raised. This is available to apply for approximately two to 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.
How to Apply
Our Hall of Fame Event Grant application process is now open. The Foundation continues to accept applications for small grants, which are considered on a case-by-case basis. The Annual Grant opportunity will reopen in July 2026. Please check back here for updates on future grant opportunities.
