Grants of up to £80,000 over 2 years (i.e. up to £40,000 per year) are available to UK registered charities, not-for-profit organisations and Community Interest Companies working with young women and girls aged 11-25 who have been in the criminal justice system or who are at a high risk of offending for the first time.
The Triangle Trust 1949 Fund holds two grants rounds each year. For 2024, both of the Trust’s funding rounds are focused on work with young women and girls who have been in the criminal justice system or who are at a high risk of entering it.
Please note that only eligible organisations led by and for women and girls are eligible to apply for this grants round.
The Trust offers grants of up to £80,000 over a 2-year period. The maximum amount available per year is £40,000. Grants are for project costs rather than core funding.
The Trust is particularly interested in proposals that:
- Demonstrate that they understand the wide range of challenges that need to be addressed to help young women and girls succeed after being released from a Young Offenders Institution or prison.
- Have specific outcomes and targets related to individual development, health and well-being, employability, education, and social cohesion, and/or
- Show evidence that work with young women and girls who have been in the criminal justice system is already taking place and can demonstrate a track record of helping them to achieve positive outcomes.
The application process has two stages.
- Following the submission of an initial online application, it will be reviewed by the Trust’s staff team.
- Shortlisted applicants will be asked to host an assessment visit with the Trust’s Director. This is an opportunity to find out more about the work you do and the project you would like the Trust to support.
Further information, guidance, an Eligibility Checklist and an online application form is available on the Trust’s website.
The application deadline is Thursday 23 May 2024.
A second application round for 2024 also focuses on young women and girls who have been in the criminal justice system or who are at a high risk of entering it. This round is scheduled to open on Wednesday 18 September 2024 and close to applications on Wednesday 30 October 2024.
