Overview

Youth Futures Foundation’s grants programme is a key part of our strategy to improve labour market outcomes for the most disadvantaged and discriminated against young people in England. Youth Futures Foundation is focused on reducing youth unemployment in England. The £90m of dormant assets money that was awarded to us by Government is restricted to England and a separate allocation of dormant assets money focused on youth services has been allocated to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Our Development & Impact Grants are key to how we identify ‘what works’ to support young people from marginalised backgrounds into secure, good quality jobs. We are looking for approaches that can be tested, evaluated and, where proven to be effective, expanded to more young people. We intend to change the youth employment system by working in partnership with organisations, policy makers, employers, practitioners and young people to address systemic barriers, expand opportunities and support more young people from marginalised backgrounds to be ready for work.

Two types of grant are available: -Development Grants: helping organisations to strengthen the design, delivery, scale and reach of programmes that are not yet ready for larger-scale delivery or evaluation. -Impact Grants: supporting programmes that have the potential to generate useful lessons both for the organisation and the wider audience through robust evaluation.

Eligibility

Not-for-profit voluntary, community-sector organisations and statutory organisations working with young people who face barriers to employment are eligible subject to certain criteria. Our initial work is aimed at 14-24 year-olds who because of disadvantage and discrimination are furthest from the jobs market.
