Deadline: 3-Jul-24
The Phoenix Fund: Children and Youth (Round 2) is now open for non-profit organisations working with Black and racially minoritised young people at risk of violence.
The Phoenix Way, led by The Ubele Initiative and supported by Global Fund for Children, is a grant-making initiative aimed at transforming Black and racially minoritised communities. It was established in partnership with six Regional Leads and with the support of several new UK funders, including The Youth Endowment Fund and the Lloyds Bank Foundation for England & Wales.
The Phoenix Way (TPW) is a national collaborative partnership created during the COVID-19 pandemic as a response to the structural inequalities which Black and racially minoritised communities and community-led organisations face in relation to influencing and accessing grant funding in the UK. Its principal aims are to:
- Transform the relationships between funders and Black and racially minoritised organisations
- Tackle systemic race inequalities
- Develop shared leadership, which actively invests in these communities and empowers them to make decisions about funding processes, priorities and allocations
