We are now open for applications and will accept proposals for work supporting young women and girls who are either caught up in the criminal justice system or on the edge of it. Please read the criteria closely as this opportunity is only open for organisations that are led by and for women and girls.
The closing date for applications is 12pm on Monday 27th May.
Applying for Funding
- We run two grant rounds each year. This year our focus is on young women and girls who have been in the criminal justice system or who are at a high risk of entering it.
- The application process has two stages as this gives us the best chance of understanding your proposal and how it links to our aims and our overall Theory of Change.
- Following the submission of your initial online application, shortlisted applicants will be asked to host an assessment visit with our Director.
- This is an opportunity for us to find out more about the work you do and the project you would like us to support.
