About This Opportunity
The Youth Fund from Paul Hamlyn Foundation supports organisations working with young people aged 14-25 to drive systemic change so that future generations can thrive. The fund focuses on young people who experience systemic inequity and aims to tackle root causes of injustice that create barriers during their transitions to adulthood. The fund emphasizes asset-based working that centers young people's power, voice, and agency, recognizing their strengths and potential rather than just their challenges. Grants are designed as strategic investments over three years to support organisations that go beyond direct delivery to influence policy, shape systems, improve practice, and change attitudes. The fund particularly welcomes applications from organisations led by people most impacted by racism, ableism, classism, sexism, xenophobia, homophobia, and transphobia, and requires commitment to anti-racist approaches.
