The Alliance for Youth Organising: Anchor Funding
Created: 05/01/2026
News/Events Category: Funding and Finance
This item will show under the following categories: Children and Families
The Alliance for Youth Organising will provide anchor grants of £40,000 a year for two years to UK-based organisations that are supporting youth organising.
The purpose of the funding is to support wider access to youth organising and strengthen the youth organising field. Groups will also receive an additional £5,000 to support learning and to provide strategic insight to the Alliance to shape its future strategy.
This funding is for organisations that already have a track record of supporting youth organising and with Alliance funding would have more impact.
It recognises the challenges facing organisations that support youth organising in securing long-term sustainable funding which allows them to focus on their core work - building youth power.
The Alliance also recognises that there are many ways that organisations can support young people to organise.
These include place-based support to organise to address local issues, national or regional leadership training programmes, support for networks of young organisers through mentoring and coaching, incubating youth organising initiatives and providing fiscal hosting.
Who can apply?
Organisations that do one or more of the following things:
- Provide training, coaching, or capacity building specifically for youth organising groups
- Run organising and/or political education training programmes, or leadership development specifically for young organisers or activists
- Offer resources, advice, guidance, tools, or platforms that strengthen youth organising capacity or help new groups to be established
- Facilitate networks or coalitions that connect and strengthen youth organising
- Provide legal, communications, or other specialist support services to young organisers
- Offer fiscal sponsorship, incubation, or infrastructure support for young organisers
How to apply

The closing date for applications is 11.59pm on Monday 26 January 2026.
