About this Funding:
The Youth Endowment Fund’s Open Call funding round invites proposals from delivery organisations that work to reduce young people’s involvement in violence and are ready for rigorous evaluation.
Unlike previous rounds, which were open for applications for a limited amount of time and focused on specific themes like Positive Activities or Psychological Therapies, this Open Call is ongoing and for projects from across all our focus sectors.
As a What Works Centre, our aim is to build strong evidence for practices and approaches in areas where clear gaps exist. We fund delivery of services only in order to evaluate them and identify what works to reduce young people’s involvement in violence.
Projects must align with one of our seven focus sectors
To help us make the biggest difference over the ten years of our endowment, we’ve selected a set of sectors where we’ll concentrate our funding and learning. We believe these sectors present some of the biggest opportunities to improve support for children and young people who are at risk of becoming involved in violence.
Applications are open to projects working in one of the following sectors:
