The Rank Foundation’s Pebbles Grants programme offers grants for small capital projects and holiday grants for UK registered charities and churches working with the seriously ill and disadvantaged in the United Kingdom.
This Fund is targeted at smaller charities that may not be covered by the Rank Foundation’s other programmes.
Grants up to £7,500 are available, although the vast majority of awards made are for significantly smaller amounts. Most awards are for £1,000.
Grants can be used for:
1. Capital costs – funding for fixed, one-time expenses incurred on the purchase of land, buildings, construction, and equipment; or
2. Short breaks – funding is targeted towards respite breaks for children or adults, and short-term activities or programmes.
During the year ending 31 December 2017, the Foundation allocated 213 grants totalling £360,000 through the Pebbles Grant programme.
Capital projects should not exceed £1 million and applicants must have an annual income of £500,000 or less.
There is a match funding requirement. Applicants are expected to have raised at least 33% of the total project cost before applying.
Funding is not available for:
o Running costs or salaries;
o Any projects that take place outside the UK;
o Projects for the benefit of visitors to the UK;
o Projects that are for the benefit of only one ethnic or religious group; facilities must be open to the wider community;
o Causes supported elsewhere by the Rank Foundation. This includes hospices, mainstream schools, specific individuals and film-making;
o Areas that are under the provision of state aid, such as medical requirements;
o Agriculture and farming;
o Cathedrals;
o Churches (except where community facilities form an integral part of the appeal);
o Cultural projects;
o Universities and school buildings;
o Bursary funds; or
o Medical research.
