How can I apply?

If you’ve got a project in mind then all you have to do is download the application pack, complete it and send it back to us. Applications received between 1st January 2026 and 31st March 2026 will receive decisions no later than 31st May 2026. The trustees will review all applications when the window closes and decide how the funds will be distributed, as agreed in the Pawprint Trust’s constitution.

Congratulations to the receivers of our 2026 grants!

It’s been a fantastic year yet again, with applications for projects abroad and some more local to home. With the continually refined application form and with grants still opened up to all young people of the UK, the breadth of applications has been amazing. It’s always such a difficult process but we have thoroughly enjoyed reading every application and seeing what adventures the young people of the UK are getting up to.

A huge congratulations to the young people below whose applications have been awarded a grant. All receivers have been notified.
