The Rank Foundation
The Foundation has an extensive programme of grants concentrating on:
- Youth work
- The disabled
- Education of disadvantaged people, and
- The advancement of Christianity
Much of the work supported by the Foundation, especially that concerning youth work and young people, has been identified by talking a pro-active approach. Schemes supported have included:
- Youth leader training, involving young people in the design and implementation of an activity programme reflecting responsibility and commitment by them; and
- A gap year scheme encouraging volunteering.
Grants range from £500 to £100,000 and they can be one-off or for up to five years. One-off grants are usually not in excess of £6,000 and must not include any staff or running costs.
There is no formal application form. Applications should be no more than two sides of A4, supported by reports etc. Applicants are asked to include:
- Charity number;
- Full details of project and funding sought;
- Amount already raised; and
- Most recent audited accounts
