Grant News

The Co-op Foundation has announced that round 2 of the Young Gamechangers Fund has opened for applications. This £4.5 million fund supports youth-led social action in communities across the UK.

The Young Gamechangers Fund, a partnership between the Co-op Foundation and the #iwill Fund, aims to support young activists, campaigners, disrupters, co-operates, and social entrepreneurs to lead social action to improve their communities.

Grants of up to £20,000 will be awarded to:

• individuals aged 10-25, or
• groups or organisations with an annual income of less than £100,000

The funding can be used for project or core costs.

Applications are encouraged from young gamechangers that:

• traditionally have not had access to funding, or
• have previously experienced additional barriers to funding, or
• are led by and for marginalised groups and communities

Successful applicants will also have access to peer support networks, training, and mentoring to help their vision come to life, putting young people at the heart of change. 

The closing date for applications is the 6th December 2024.
