YWF are pleased to share with you this funding opportunity for eligible* Young Westminster Foundation Members. This funding is solely for the provision of core funding. Core funding is funding that can be spent on an organisation’s core functions, for example salaries, communications, operations, governance etc or other running costs that are not project-specific. YWF are pleased to offer this type of funding in response to feedback from members for more core support.

This YWF Small Grants fund was made available by John Lyon’s Charity (JLC) with the specific purpose of strengthening smaller, grass roots organisations that deliver opportunities for children and young people in Westminster and are not eligible to be funded directly by JLC.

*Eligible organisations: 

-Not for profit organisations (CIC, CLG, Unincorporated groups, Social Enterprise etc)
-Existing members of the Young Westminster Foundation who are currently working with children and young people aged 0-25 years in Westminster
-Have a last reported annual turnover of less that £200,000

Organisations that are not eligible:

-Registered charities (i.e. CIO, Charitable Trust, Charitable Association or Charitable company) and Supplementary Schools.
This is to ensure support is targeted to the voluntary sector beyond the reach of John Lyon’s Charity’s Main/Open Grants Programme.

If you have any questions or need any further information about the guidance or application form please email hazel@youngwestminster.com or call us on 07426 217044.
