Deadline: 5-Jul-22
The Corra Foundation is pleased to announce the Henry Duncan Grants to support children and young people (aged 6-26 years) to overcome the impacts of inequality in their lives.
Priority Areas
Following engagement with young people and community organisations, they have identified two priority areas for funding:
- Children and Young People shaping their own lives: This theme will support organisations that can demonstrate strong and meaningful involvement of children and young people in decision making within the organisation. It will also support organisations that facilitate the involvement of children and young people in local/national decision making.
- Skills for Children and Young People’s Futures: This theme supports organisations that can clearly demonstrate that they are creating and facilitating opportunities for children and young people through access to new experiences, skills, mentoring, or other opportunities.
Funding Information
- You can apply for up to £8,000 across five years
- A total grant of £40,000. You can apply for fewer years or a smaller amount per year if you’d prefer.
- They encourage you to think aboutwhat your organisation needs and to apply for that.

You can apply if you are:
- An organisation that has been supporting children and young people (aged 6-26 years) for at least the past 12 months.
