Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Home About Engaged Philanthropy Pebble Grants RankNet Conference 2021 News Contact Pebble Grants Pebbles is our small funding stream for UK registered charities and recognised churches which are raising money for projects where the total cost is less than £150,000. This money can be spent on short breaks (such as an annual respite break or holiday for disadvantaged young people), equipment (such as white goods), or capital costs (refurbishment or minor building work). Pebble grant applications are processed on a rolling basis. It can take up to 3 months for a decision and payment to be made. Grants are awarded on a discretionary basis; the Rank Foundation’s contribution ranges from £250 up to and including £4,000, depending on the total cost of the project. If you have any queries, please contact pebbles@rankfoundation.com. Please see the below criteria to confirm if your organisation is eligible.

Cannot be used for pilot projects Requests for pilot project equipment and affiliated costs will not be considered.
