Applications are considered on a rolling basis, there are no deadlines.
Funding of up to £150,000 spread over three years i.e. up to £50,000 per year is available for organisations whose main purpose is working with and for young people, aged 14 to 25, who face complex transitions to adulthood. The Youth Fund is designed to be a strategic investment in your organisation, so they only fund for the full three years and at the amount appropriate to your plans for wider impact. They do not make grants of less than £90,000 over three years.
They provide core funding for organisations that:
- Seek to sustain, prepare to grow, or grow impact with and for young people.
- Put young people at the centre in terms of power, voice and agency – as part of an asset-based approach, starting with recognising and building on young people’s strengths and potential.
- Aim to achieve wide impact for young people (for example, going beyond direct delivery and focusing on systemic or structural change).
- Are committed to continuous improvement in asset-based approaches to working with and for young people.
- Support young people who are facing complex transitions, challenges and barriers to accessing support and opportunities. Particularly young people who are socially excluded or marginalised; whose experiences can be hidden or less well known; and whose voices are often erased or ignored.
