The Youth Endowment Fund’s Open Call funding round invites proposals from delivery organisations that work to reduce young people’s involvement in violence and are ready for rigorous evaluation.

As a ‘What Works Centre’, their aim is to build strong evidence for practices and approaches in areas where clear gaps exist. They will only fund the delivery of services to evaluate them and identify what works to reduce young people’s involvement in violence.

This grant round is an open call for proposals, and potential funding is expected to cover 20% of delivery costs.

Applications are open to projects working in one of the following sectors:

  • Youth sector
  • Children’s services
  • Youth Justice
  • Policing
  • Neighbourhoods
  • Health
  • Education

Projects must primarily support children and young people aged 10 to 18 who are either:

  • At risk of crime or violence (‘secondary prevention’), or
  • Already affected by violence, offending, or exploitation (‘tertiary prevention’).

While children outside this age range can be included, they should not be the primary focus. Your application must include existing evidence of the positive impact your programme or approach has on the children and young people you intend to reach.

There is no set deadline, applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
