Aims/priorities: The Foundation offers financial support to charities whose objects are to:
- Relieve the needs of people who are suffering from, or have been affected by, breast cancer by providing, or assisting in the provision of, information, care, or emotional, practical, and financial support.
- Advance public education in the understanding of breast cancer, its early detection and treatment, but not exclusively by commissioning, or conducting, research into the causes, detection, and treatment of breast cancer and by disseminating the results of such research.
Who can apply? Registered charities working in the field of breast cancer in the UK may apply.
Social enterprises and Community Interest Companies can apply as long as they are legally constituted and their proposed project is clearly for public benefit.
Partnership bids will be accepted.
The Foundation will consider applications from general cancer charities if any grant made will be used to benefit at least 50% of patients that suffer from Breast Cancer or for research into, or the dissemination of information about, breast cancer.
The Foundation welcomes applications from all ethnic and minority groups.
For this grant period, and with requests for assistance growing, the Foundation will maintain the focus on organisations with limited financial resources to deliver their services.
Grant amount: Up to £6,000 are available for projects delivered within 12 to 18 months.
Groups are advised to apply for the level of funding the project or project specifics require, rather than the maximum level of funding available. Applications for just the sum of £6,000 will be considered as 'poor'.
Applications for above £6,000 may be considered at the discretion of the Foundation.
Application process: Applicants are encouraged to submit their application well before the deadline ‘to make registration and evaluation easier’.
The application form, frequently asked questions and information on monitoring, evaluation and reporting can be found on the Foundation’s website.
Grant applications must be made in hard copy and include a set of accounts.
The Pink Ribbon Foundation will only accept one application per organisation for each year.
Deadline: Sunday, 31 May 2026.
