KFC Youth Foundation Community Grants Programme

The KFC Youth Foundation is offering grants of up to £2,500 to not-for-profit groups with a turnover of less than £300,000 and that have existed for at least 12 months to deliver a variety of projects that help young people create firm foundations through early intervention in communities near KFC restaurants across the UK.

Applications will be considered from registered charities, registered community interest companies, unincorporated clubs or associations or unregistered charities that:

• Benefit young people aged 11-25 years old.
• Support those in a position of economic disadvantage (including one of the following: care leavers, those experiencing homelessness, young carers, young parents, refugees, young people at risk of or with experience of the criminal justice system).
• Empower young people to fulfil their potential and build a positive future by providing spaces that allow young people to feel safe and secure, helping them to unlock talent, build life skills, provide mentoring, and improve their chances to gain meaningful employment.
• Demonstrate positive results from their project within 12 months of KFC funding being received.

There is a two-stage application process. Groups must first submit an online Expression of Interest, including a two-minute video about their organisation, before being invited to submit a full application.

The deadline for application is 17 March 2024 (23:59).
