Blagrave Trust, Roots & Routes Fund

The Roots & Routes Fund is for youth-led organisations who are fighting for climate justice in England. In its pilot phase, the Roots & Routes Fund will provide one-year grants and the maximum each organisation can apply for is £20,000. The principal aim is that young people feel empowered and supported in taking climate justice action in ways that are meaningful for them and their communities.

Essential criteria:

• Organisations based in England with the majority of their work taking place within England.
• A youth-led organisation. This means at least 55% of your leadership are aged 18-30. If applicable, young people also occupy a majority of your organisation’s trustee or board positions.
• An organisation led by at least 55% of people who share the characteristics of communities most impacted by climate injustice, or those underrepresented in the climate justice sector.*
• Organisations that have a minimum of 3 people leading the organisation.
• Organisations that have a UK bank account, or if not, are willing to be fiscally hosted by one that does.
• Organisations that have a group agreement or constitution in place setting out how the group intends to work together.  
• Have an annual revenue of between £10,000 and £500,000.
• Deadline 2nd June
