UK Youth and Pears Foundation have launched a new £10 million fund to champion an approach that works: providing multi-year, unrestricted funding alongside targeted capacity-building support to small youth organisations.
The aim of the Fund is to strengthen the financial resilience and capacity of small youth and outdoor learning organisations across the UK.
They aim to achieve this through two key outcomes:
Outcome 1: Improved Financial Sustainability, supporting grantees to invest time and resource in strategic, organisational development through our multi-year unrestricted funding grant programme.
Outcome 2: Increased Capability and Organisational Resilience through our capacity building programme.
Organisations can apply for multi-year unrestricted funding of up to 10% of annual turnover. This approach ensures that funding is proportional to the size and capacity of your organisation to help ensure sustainability and resilience.
This fund is open to organisations with an annual turnover of less than £500,000 that are delivering services to young people based within our eligibility areas in England and Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
This stage asks you to confirm your eligibility through a short set of multiple‐choice questions and an eligibility checklist. Deadline to submit an Expression of Interest: 11:59 pm on Wednesday 6th May.
Those successful at the EOI stage will be invited to apply at this second stage on Monday 11th May. Deadline for applications: 11:59pm on Tuesday 3rd June.
