Jeans for Genes Grants 2008

NICVA Small Logo

Jeans for Genes invites patient and support organisations involved with genetic diseases to support, participate and benefit from funds raised by the Charity.

This year Jeans for Genes is accepting applications from UK charities for grants ranging from £500 - £25,000. Successful applicants will be those requesting funds for projects that extend the reach of Jeans for Genes into the genetic disorder community.

Jeans for Genes is a UK registered charity whose mission is to raise funds to support individuals and families affected by genetic disorders and to advance medical research into the causes, cure, prevention or relief of such disorders.

The Charity holds a series of high profile fundraising activities throughout the year culminating in one of the most popular and enduring one-day national charity appeals in the UK – Jeans for Genes Day. On Jeans for Genes Day, Friday 3 October 2008, children and adults nationwide will be asked to wear their jeans to work or school and to make a donation. Over £24 million has been raised by Jeans for Genes since the Charity was founded in 1996.

Guidelines and application forms are available from the website.

The deadline for grant applications is Friday 4th January 2008.
