Welcome to the Triangle Trust 1949 Fund

 

Our focus for 2025/26 is on young women and girls who are already in contact with the criminal justice system or who are at high risk of being drawn into it. Organisations applying need to be led by women and the total beneficiaries of the organisation need to be 80% young women and girls. Also open is a Small Grants Programme for organisations whose income is below £50,000 and only work with women and girls.

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.

Small Grants Programme

 

  • We are additionally running a small grants programme that will open in September/October.

  • The programme is open only to organisations led by and for women and girls with a maximum annual income of £50,000.
  • The 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.

  • Grants will be for £10,000 and we aim to process applications within a month of them being received.

GRANT SIZE

Grants of between £30,000 and £80,000 for a duration of 12 months to two years. The amount of funding requested must be proportional to the project being undertaken
