Leader Award Grants

The Leader Award Grant programme allows organisations that are successfully running the Jack Petchey Achievement Award Scheme to apply for a small grant of up to £1000 to further enhance their work with young people.

When does the Leader Award Grant Fund open?

Once you have successfully run the Achievement Award Scheme for one full grant period you will become eligible to apply for one Leader Award per scheme every calendar year by submitting your nomination via the Community Area.

Every successful Leader Award winner is eligible to apply for a Leader Award Grant of up to £1000 for up to six months after receiving the award.

Before completing the application form you must confirm that you meet the following eligibility criteria:

• Your Leader Award has been approved within the last 6 months, and that you have the reference number to hand
• This Leader Award has NOT previously received a Leader Award Grant (previously small grant)
• You are requesting £1000 or LESS from JPF
• Your project will NOT start before you have received written confirmation that your application has been successful and your organisation has accepted the conditions outlined in the offer letter
• The TOTAL OVERALL project does NOT exceed £5000
• Your project benefits MORE than 2 young people
• Your project does NOT promote any religious or political beliefs
• Your project will be COMPLETED within 12 months of the grant approval date
• You will complete a Leader Award Grant Report and provide evidence of spends
• You have read and understood the Jack Petchey Foundation privacy policy and the guidance notes about how we will use the data you provide in your application

What can I apply for? You can apply for items such as equipment, resources, trips, additional items of kit, specialist tuition or sessions.

(Please note that items/trips/projects applied for cannot be purchased/take place or start before the grant offer has been accepted.)

What can’t I apply for?

We are unable to fund illegal or items that are illicit such as alcohol and cigarettes. In addition we will not fund activities that promote religious or political beliefs. Please demonstrate within the application the benefit that your request will have upon the organisation and young people.
