Join this online Q+A session to learn more about the Youth Fund from the Paul Hamlyn Foundation
This funds primary purpose is to support organisations working with and for young people (aged 14-25) who face complex transitions to adulthood, and provides 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
They can provide core operating costs of up to £150,000 spread over three years i.e. up to £50,000 per year. They do not make grants of less than £90,000 over three years, and make around 25 grants per year, on average funding around 12% of the applications they receive. There are no set deadlines, and applications are welcomed at any time.
Please note that they will prioritise work that takes place outside of London, but London based organisations are still welcome to apply.
