As a small family charitable organisation we are looking to support a limited number of causes in a meaningful way, preferably over three years.
Eligible Criteria
TFCF trustees will only support registered charities or not for profit enterprises in England or Wales with an annual turnover of less than £1m. In practice we expect the organisations we support to have an annual income of less than £500,000. Charities need to be able to demonstrate they make a difference to the life chances of young people under the age of 25. The trustees will give greater consideration to applications that support socially disadvantaged youth of teenage years.
