Grant News
A new fund has been launched to support youth-led organisations fighting for climate justice in England.
The Roots & Routes Fund aims to empower young people aged 18 to 30, particularly those from underrepresented groups who are most affected by climate injustice, to drive systemic change.
For this fund, underrepresented groups are defined as:
- Communities experiencing racial injustice
- Disabled communities
- LGBTQIA + communities
- Working class communities
- Women
In its pilot phase, the fund offers unrestricted funding of up to £20,000 to five organisations, as well as resources and networking opportunities.
Projects may include advocacy, research, training, or activities aimed at achieving lasting impact.
The fund is delivered by the Blagrave Trust, in partnership with the Co-op Foundation, the Energy Saving Trust Foundation, OVO Foundation, and Impatience Earth.
Insights from these organisations and beneficiaries will help shape future iterations of the fund.
Organisations with an annual income of between £10,000 and £500,000 are eligible to apply.
Applications close on the 2nd June 2025.
