Small charities with an income of less than £500k can apply for a Pebble Grant to raise money for capital costs or a one-off short-term activity.

This is a small funding stream for UK registered charities and recognised churches, supporting projects where the total cost is less than £150,000. The Foundation will only make a contribution to project costs through this funding scheme. Applicants are required to have already raised a third of the total costs needed.

The grants of £250 to £4,000 can be spent on:

• short breaks – such as an annual respite break or holiday for disadvantaged young people
• equipment – such as white goods
• capital costs – refurbishment or minor building work.

Projects must be for the benefit of UK residents, including but not limited to citizens, long-term residents and asylum seekers. 

Applications are processed quarterly, and can take up to 4 months for decision and payment.
