The Sasha Foundation

The Sasha Foundation Grants

A small foundation set up in memory of Sasha Love, who had bipolar disorder and took her life in 2009, supporting established charities working on mental health. In the UK it prioritises young people experiencing depression and mental health challenges, and people struggling with drug abuse; it also funds education and healthcare work overseas, particularly education for young women in developing countries. Grants are up to £10,000 and cannot exceed half the total budgeted cost of the project. Two closing dates a year, 1 April and 1 October.

Who can apply

  • The work must fit the foundation's objectives, which trustees judge against the values of the young woman it commemorates
  • The amount requested must be no more than half the total budgeted cost of the project or programme, so a second funder or the charity's own contribution needs to be in place

What it funds

  • Projects or programmes fitting the foundation's objectives
  • In the UK: support for young people suffering from depression and mental health challenges, and for those struggling with drug abuse
  • Overseas: development work in education and healthcare in developing nations, and educational programmes for young women in third-world countries
  • A grant cannot exceed 50% of the total budgeted cost of the proposed project or programme

What it will not fund

  • Individuals — grants are only made to established charitable bodies
  • More than 50% of the total budgeted cost of a project or programme
