Grants are available to support projects that promote the mental health and wellbeing of children and young adults.

Grants are usually between £500 and £5,000, but never more than 5% of annual income, and are usually for a 12 month period. They will also look at follow-on applications to existing grantees that have delivered on commitments.

The focus is on the mental health and wellbeing of children and young adults (under 26 years). If a project includes over 25s, an appropriate percentage of total costs may be considered.

There is a strong preference for organisations with annual income of under £10m, and some preference for project, rather than core funding.

A staged application process is operated, beginning with a Pixel Fund Q&A Drop-in Meeting, designed to help you understand whether you should apply.

Following your attendance at a meeting, you will be sent a link to the Eligibility Checklist Questionnaire to formalise what you will be expected to supply during the application process, and what criteria your charity and your application will need to work within. After this has been checked, a Due Diligence Form will be sent. After this, a decision will be made to invite an application or not.

See the full eligibility criteria and details at the Pixel Fund website.
