Youth Endowment Fund – Open Call

This fund is for organisations that work to reduce young people’s involvement in violence and are ready for rigorous evaluation.

The funders aim is to fund and evaluate projects that will help to build strong evidence for practices and approaches in areas where clear gaps exist.

”We are a charity passionate about building a world where no child or young person becomes involved in violence. Our small part in this is to find what works and build a movement to put this knowledge into practice. Everything we do is intended to help us fulfil this mission. We’re using our funding to build a consensus – from the grass-roots to the government – on what works best to support young people. We believe that every child deserves the very best research on what works and for everyone to get behind what will make the biggest difference.”

To apply, your projects will need to be working in one of the following sectors:

• Youth sector
• Children’s services
• Youth Justice
• Policing
• Neighbourhoods
• Health
• Education

Projects must primarily support children and young people aged 10–18 who are either:

• At risk of crime or violence (‘secondary prevention’), or
• Already affected by violence, offending or exploitation (‘tertiary prevention’)
