Not for profit youth organisations supporting disadvantaged young people (aged 14 – 25 years old) can apply for grants of up to £150,000, spread over 3 years.

The Paul Hamlyn Foundation Youth Fund aims to aid youth organisations to sustain or expand their work to assist young people who face complex transitions to adulthood. The Foundation provides core funding to organisations that aim for sustainability, growth, and impact.

It is particularly interested in funding:

targeted work with and for young people who face transitions in their lives which may be challenging or create barriers for example into or out of education, care settings, housing or the secure estate
- in this instance, “the secure estate” might include prisons, bail accommodation, youth detention accommodation and approved premises
work that recognises young people’s multiple and overlapping identities (for example race, gender, sexual orientation, class, faith, migration status, ability)

The Foundation particularly welcomes applications from organisations led by people most impacted by racism, ableism, classism, sexism, xenophobia, homophobia, and/or transphobia.

There are no deadlines, and applications can be submitted at any time.
