Arts-based Learning Fund
Paul Hamlyn Foundation
The Arts-based Learning Fund from Paul Hamlyn Foundation supports arts and cultural organisations to work in partnership with schools. The aim is to make arts-based learning a core part of education. Awards range from £30,000 to £300,000, with up to £100,000 available per year. Projects can run for 1 to 4 years. The fund is open now and runs on a rolling application cycle, so there is no fixed closing date. This fund will suit arts and cultural organisations that already have, or want to build, strong working relationships with schools. The foundation says its funding works best when it backs organisations that challenge systemic injustice, are actively inclusive and anti-racist, put people who experience injustice at the centre of designing solutions, and share what they learn with others. The foundation actively looks to fund work outside London and across the UK. It only funds work that is charitable, as defined by the Charity Commission. It also publishes general exclusions, so read these before you start. You apply through the foundation's online application system. A sample application form is available to download, so you can see the questions before you begin. One practical point to plan for: funds generally take four months from application to decision. The foundation cannot cover costs that have already been incurred, so do not start spending against the project before you have a decision. If the online portal is not accessible to you because of disability, the foundation offers a bursary of up to £750 to help you apply. Official source: https://www.phf.org.uk/funding/.

Migration Fund
Paul Hamlyn Foundation
Paul Hamlyn Foundation's Migration Fund gives UK not-for-profit organisations working for migrant justice up to £60,000 a year for three or four years, or up to £50,000 a year for five years. It is open to groups anywhere in the UK. There is no fixed deadline, as the funder runs a rolling application cycle. The largest standard total is £250,000 over five years. Priority goes to organisations led by migrants and diaspora communities, those working with historically underfunded groups and regions, those with turnover under £500,000, and those with less access to other funding. New and unincorporated groups can apply. You can ask for core costs such as salaries, a specific programme, or partnership work. The fund will not pay for service delivery that is not linked to root causes, academic research, work-entry support such as CV writing, or English language classes. Book an enquiry call first. Only organisations invited after that call can send a written application.
Youth Fund
Paul Hamlyn Foundation
The Youth Fund from Paul Hamlyn Foundation backs organisations that work with young people aged 14 to 25. The aim is to drive change so that future generations of young people can thrive. You can ask for up to £150,000. The funding runs for three years. The fund is listed as open for applications on a rolling cycle, so there is no fixed closing date. The foundation says it funds work that is charitable, as defined by the Charity Commission. It actively looks to fund work outside London and across the UK. It says it is most likely to support organisations that challenge systemic injustice by focusing on structural change and shifting power. It also values work that is actively inclusive and anti-racist, that centres people experiencing injustice in designing solutions, and that is generous and collaborative in sharing learning. You apply through the foundation's online application system. A sample Youth Fund application form is available to download, so you can look at the questions before you start. If the online portal is not accessible to you because of disability, the foundation offers a bursary of up to £750 to help you apply. One practical point to plan for. Generally, the foundation's funds take four months from application to decision. It cannot cover costs that have already been incurred, so do not start spending before you have a decision.

India Fund
Paul Hamlyn Foundation
The India Fund from Paul Hamlyn Foundation gives India-based organisations the resources they need to help communities build on their strengths and improve lives. Awards range from ₹10,00,000 to ₹40,00,000. Projects can last for one to two years. It suits you if you run a community-focused organisation in India and want funding for work over the short to medium term. The fund runs a rolling application cycle, so there is no single closing date. Applications are assessed twice a year, in March and October. It is worth planning your timing around those two points. The foundation says its funding works best for organisations that challenge systemic injustice, are actively inclusive and anti-racist, centre people experiencing injustice in designing solutions, and share learning generously with others. One practical caveat. The foundation only funds work that is charitable, as defined by the Charity Commission. Its funds generally take four months from application to decision, and it cannot cover costs that have already been incurred, so you cannot claim for work already done. You apply through the foundation's online application system. If the portal is not accessible to you because of a disability, a bursary of up to £750 is available to help you apply.
