Closing date for applications 16 February 2026
The Alliance for Youth Organising will provide five grants of £15,000 for projects exploring gaps in action or understanding for the youth organising field. These grants will use an action learning approach.
The Alliance welcomes collaborative applications. At least one group or organisation needs to be involved in youth organising and there needs to be a lead organisation or group who will receive the grant.
The grants will be awarded in April 2026 and grant holders will be expected to share their learning in November 2026.
The learning can be shared creatively, for example as a report, a video, an audio recording, a visual representation, or a powerpoint. The Alliance will provide additional support for the learning to be shared more widely.
The Alliance intends that the five successful projects will be connected and learn from each other. Explore community convenings will take place at the beginning, middle and end of the grant period. These will be online, with additional funding provided to cover costs of any face-to-face meeting.
The Alliance will also facilitate connections within its networks and funded community in support of the projects and the sharing of learning.
Grants will be awarded in April 2026.
