Eligibility checker – high-risk young people grants – second round

Questions for organisations looking to apply for grants to work with high-risk young women and girls on the edge of the criminal justice system.

We are only able to support work that closely matches the advertised criteria. Whilst we understand the fundraising pressures currently facing the third sector we have limited resources and use the eligibility checker to help applicants understand if they will be a good fit for our support. The aim of this is to ensure that applicants do not waste their time and resources applying for funding that they will not be awarded. Please consider your answers to the following questions carefully to avoid making a more detailed application that will not be successful once we start our more rigorous assessment process.

Question 1

Are you a registered charity or an organisation set up with a clear social purpose and appropriate governing documents stating this?

Question 2

Is the amount you are applying for lower than your organisation’s income?

Question 3

Is your organisation’s annual income lower than £50,000?

  3. Supporting young mothers either prior to or post serving a custodial sentence

Question 6

Is the project you wish to fund going to be working solely with young women aged 17-30?

Question 7
