Details

WCT now only provides grants to organisations supporting disadvantaged families with young children up to age 11, and organisations that work directly with children of the same age group (0-11 years). At least 75% of your organisation’s work must align with this focus.

WCT will prioritise funding organisations who are working in one or more of the following areas:

• Parenting / caregiving support
• Educational programmes for children both in and out of school, such as those that aim to boost attainment, attendance or emotional wellbeing
• Programmes and activities that benefit children’s wellbeing and development
• Pre-natal and post-natal support services

If your organisation works outside of these priority areas, it is unlikely that your application will be successful.
