Paul Hamlyn Foundation's Youth Fund Program

The Paul Hamlyn Foundation has launched the Youth Fund Program to support organisations working with young people aged 14-25. The program aims to drive systemic change to ensure future generations of young people can thrive.

Funding Information

The Youth Fund Program provides funding of up to £50,000 per year for three years, with a maximum grant of £150,000. The Foundation prefers to fund organisations at the maximum amount and term but does not make grants of less than £30,000 per year.

Aims

The program focuses on:

• Supporting young people (14-25) who experience systemic inequity, making transitions to adulthood more challenging.
• Driving change in systems, processes, and practices to create more equitable, inclusive environments for young people.
• Tackling the root causes of inequity and injustice that create barriers for young people.
• Centering young people's voices and experiences, especially those who are marginalized or excluded.

Eligibility Criteria

The fund is interested in:

• Organisations working with young people aged 14-25.
• Targeted work with young people facing challenging transitions, such as those into or out of education, care settings, housing, or the secure estate.
• Work that acknowledges young people’s multiple identities, including race, gender, sexual orientation, class, faith, migration status, and ability.
• Applications from organisations led by individuals most impacted by racism, ableism, classism, sexism, xenophobia, homophobia, and/or transphobia.

Ineligibility Criteria

The following are not eligible for funding:

• Newly registered organisations without independently audited/examined accounts.
• Work considered a statutory responsibility.
• Project-based activities with no scope for wider impact beyond immediate beneficiaries.
• Service delivery without a focus on broader change.
• Research without a direct link to actionable change.
• Work focused on young people receiving hospice or end-of-life care.
