The DM Thomas Foundation for Young People is committed to helping disadvantaged and vulnerable young people and children. The Foundation does this by supporting positive life-changing and life-enhancing activities that improve their health and education. 
Applications working in the areas of education or health with one of our four chosen focus groups are selected or considered:
• Children and young people with disabilities
• Children and young people who are sick in hospital
• Employability and training programmes for disadvantaged young people
• Children and young people who are life limited (requiring palliative care)
The Foundation has a rigorous grant process which aims to identify the most effective projects helping disadvantaged young people in the UK and Ireland.
Applications from registered charities in the UK and Ireland are first assessed by the Foundation office, with a shortlist of approximately 20 of the strongest and regionally representative applications put forward for consideration by the Grants Committee.
The Grants Committee comprises independent members and members nominated by the Foundation’s business partners and meets quarterly to discuss the applications. There is approximately £200,000 available to distribute each quarter.
Please ensure your completed application is received both electronically and hard copy by on the date indicated in order to be considered.
