The KFC Youth Foundation is offering grants of up to £3,000 per year for up to two years for not-for-profit groups with a turnover of less than £400,000 to deliver projects that empower economically disadvantaged young people across the UK to fulfill their potential and build a positive future.

Applications will be considered from registered charities, registered community interest companies, unincorporated clubs or associations, or unregistered charities that:

Benefit young people aged 11-25 years old.
Support those in a position of economic disadvantage (including one of the following: care leavers, those experiencing homelessness, young carers, young parents, refugees, and young people at risk of or with experience of the criminal justice system).
Empower young people to fulfill their potential and build a positive future by providing spaces that allow them to feel safe and secure, helping them unlock talent, build life skills, provide mentoring, and improve their chances to gain meaningful employment.
Demonstrate positive results from their project within 12 months of KFC funding being received.

There is a two-stage application process. Groups must first submit an online Expression of Interest, including a two-minute video about their organisation, before being invited to submit a full application.

The next deadline for applications is 14 February 2025 (23:59).
