pinkribbonfoundation.org.ukAbout Pink Ribbon Foundation
The Pink Ribbon Foundation is a UK grant-making trust established in 2000 by Jonathan Prince MBE. Its mission is to relieve the needs of people affected by breast cancer, including patients (men included), families, carers, and communities, while advancing public understanding, early detection, and treatment. The foundation operates with minimal infrastructure and volunteer-led governance to maximise grant distribution, reflecting values of compassion, inclusion, and health advancement. It prioritises small and medium-sized charities delivering grassroots impact through care programmes, counselling, complementary therapies, awareness campaigns, educational materials, specialist equipment, nursing support, and medical research.
What Pink Ribbon Foundation funds
The foundation funds UK-wide projects across England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Isle of Man, and Channel Islands that offer practical, emotional, and financial aid to people affected by breast cancer. Supported activities include mindfulness sessions, yoga, lymphedema care, mental health services, and research studies. The balance is between immediate relief and long-term breakthroughs, covering costs for care programmes, counselling, complementary therapies, awareness campaigns, educational materials, specialist equipment, nursing support, and medical research. Grants are typically modest, supporting projects over a year or more, with a small allowance for core costs; larger awards are rare.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities or not-for-profits, including charitable incorporated organisations, community interest companies, and social enterprises. The foundation welcomes new and emerging groups, with a preference for those on limited resources. No strict income thresholds or religious restrictions apply, and unsolicited applications are welcomed. Organisations can apply once per year.
What Pink Ribbon Foundation doesn't fund
The foundation does not support overseas work, except for repatriated funds, unrestricted funding, or large capital projects. Its focus is solely on breast cancer-related initiatives within the UK.
How they like to fund
The foundation provides modest grants, typically supporting projects over a year or more, with a small allowance for core costs.
