The Pixel Fund provides grants to other charities, including Charitable Incorporated Organisations, based and operating in the UK. Historically, the Fund gave grants to support research and care in the fields of psychological, mental and neurological diseases and disorders.
In 2018 the Trust narrowed its focus to concentrate on improving the mental health and mental wellbeing of children and young adults.
The Trust defines young adults as those aged under 25 years old at the start of any granted project or work stream. Where a project includes over 25s, the Fund will consider granting an appropriate percentage of the total costs.
The Trust actively researches suitable charities that would benefit from grants and also receive numerous unsolicited enquiries from potential beneficiaries. They also consider requests for follow-on grants from charities that have been supported by the Pixel Fund previously. It is not, however, the Pixel Fund’s policy to make multi-year commitments. The Pixel Fund actively encourages applications from charities it hasn’t previously funded.
Grants of between £500 and £5,000 are generally available for specific projects that will provide a measurable difference to the applicant organisation's users. The Trust will prioritise charities with an annual income of under £10 million.
The Fund operates a 3-stage, paperless application process, which is detailed in the ‘Applications’ section of the Fund’s website. Before this, however, all potential applicants, are advised to complete the Eligibility Checklist.
Further information, guidance and an online application form is available on the Fund’s website.
Applications may be made at any time.
