Our 2026 programme has now closed but you can still check out key information including guidance and FAQs on the Foundation's grants.
In 2026, we made a few changes this year to make the process simpler and more aligned with our mission.
We’ve moved to a one‑stage application, updated our eligibility criteria, and refreshed the questions to help us better support small, youth‑focused organisations working with young people aged 11–25.
Join us as we talk through the KFC Youth Foundation, the change we have made to the programme, eligibility, and some helpful tips for your application.
We’re pleased to share the organisations awarded funding through our 2026 Community Grants programme. Following a youth-led assessment process, 74 organisations across the UK have been awarded two-year grants to support their work creating opportunities, safe spaces and positive activities for young people in their communities.
