Welcome

 

We are a charity passionate about building a world where no child or young person becomes involved in violence. Our small part in this is to find what works and build a movement to put this knowledge into practice. Everything we do is intended to help us fulfil this mission. We're using our funding to build a consensus – from the grass-roots to the government – on what works best to support young people. We believe that every child deserves the very best research on what works and for everyone to get behind what will make the biggest difference.

  

Reducing violence is complicated. To make sure that children and young people keep safe, we have to make sure their needs are met. The aim is to build robust evidence, by funding projects which are ready to begin a large scale evaluation.

 

Please ensure you read through our application guidance before starting your application.  We have very clear eligibility criteria for this round, so please apply only if you have a proposal that fits with this. Thank you for everything you do for young people.


Please note: this call for proposals will remain open for the foreseeable future, it does not have a closing date and there is no current cap on the number of applications which will be considered. 


A well considered application is the best route to success, please don't feel the need to rush, all applications will be assessed

 

YEF will not begin assessing applications until December 1st 2024, and after this they will be managed on a rolling basis.  All applications will be assessed.


Completing the form

We're delighted that you are wish to apply for funding from the Youth Endowment Fund. To apply, you will first need to complete this form.


The Part One form is intended to give us an understanding of your organisation and the intervention or service you are suggesting that we evaluate.  If we find your proposal promising you will be asked to complete Part Two of the application form.

 

Please tell us as honestly as you can about what you propose to do. We are looking for your proposal to show us:

  • If successfully delivered, it would reduce offending outcomes, or other outcomes linked to offending as specified in the guidance, for children and young people
  • You can reach the children we are most interested in working with in this call (see guidance)
  • You're likely to successfully deliver what you propose (not just write well about it)
  • You can work together with an independent research organisation to rigorously evaluate your project to see if it works (not just place unnecessary burden on you producing reports you don’t believe in)

There are a number of mandatory requirements within the form to which you must agree in order to be considered for YEF funding. Please note that these cannot be negotiated on.  You can see these ahead of time in the application guidance.

  

You can save your form at any time and return to it later.

 

Please do not use the Back or Forward button of your browser as this will result in any answer previously entered being lost. Use the in page navigation buttons.

 

We read and assess every single application received, and will respond to you within 10 working days. If we do not fund your proposal, it does not mean that we think you are doing a bad job. We are trying to find the very best proposals where we can conduct the very best evaluations to build a consensus on what works. Please refer to the guidance document for more information about when you can expect to hear from us and what the next steps will be.

 

We need the information in this form in order to consider your application for funding. Our applicant privacy notice has more information about how we use your personal data.



Thank you for all you do to keep young people safe.

 

Yours,

 

Jon Yates

 

Executive Director, YEF                   









What type of organisation are you?
Please select from the appropriate drop down list. You must be a a registered charity, company, statutory body or CIC.  If you are an evaluator organisation please exit this form and use the Evaluator Application - Part One













Applications from other organisations cannot be considered. MST applications can only be accepted from organisations who would act as the Umbrella Organisation for that trial.



Select all that apply. Projects must be delivered in England and/or Wales. Projects delivered in Scotland or Northern Ireland cannot be funded.

Intervention or services outside of these sectors will not be considered.

We expect a project to focus on one primary outcome. However if you are not sure which it is, you can select as many as appropriate. Applications which do not expect to achieve at least one of these outcomes will not be considered.

The intervention must have: a strong and clear theory of change, a clear and consistent approach which means it could be picked up and delivered easily by others (i.e. it's formally or informally manualised), and a clear approach to supporting and managing delivery staff. You do not need to describe all of these in detail at this time.

Select as many as apply. Primary prevention programmes will not be funded.
9. What percentage of the children and young people you plan to work with in this project do you believe will; 

Note that you should only include participants who received an intervention which is largely or wholly the same as that which you are proposing here, and sit within the demographics described in question 9.

Please Note: Applications featuring participant numbers below the required values will be rejected without further assessment. A previous version of this application stated the minimum numbers incorrectly.

Interventions with no previous history of delivery will not be considered.



If you proceed to the second part of the application you will be asked to provide more detail of your costs. Please note grantees are expected to fund 20% of delivery costs themselves, either through supplementary funding or in-kind provision. This does not include evaluation costs. See the guidance for more details. If your organisation is led by representatives of Black and/or racially minoritised communities, we strongly encourage you to apply, even if you’re unable to meet our 20% supplement. In certain cases, we may consider supporting or waiving this requirement if projects can demonstrate their ability to reach and support groups that are overrepresented in the youth justice system.

If you cannot answer yes to these questions we will not be able to proceed with your application.  You do not need to provide examples at this stage
