Youth of Today Scaling Up Fund

 Max Grant Between £5,000 and £30,000

Who can apply?

Small third sector organisations

Deadline 11th December 2009

Information The Youth of Today Scaling Up Fund invites applications from small third sector organisations in England to address key challenges of how to scale-up innovative youth leadership programmes and reach out across communities. In total, £0.5 million will be distributed, which equates to 30 grants of between £5,000 and £20,000.

 

The grants aim to:

- help more young people take on leadership roles in their community;

- create more opportunities for young people to influence the decisions affecting them;

- raise the quality of youth leadership opportunities;

- enable small organisations to grow; and

- fund innovative projects that are unlikely to find funding from other sources.

 The grant should be used to develop and expand youth leadership programmes - including delivery costs, staff costs and small capital items.
