Paul Hamlyn Foundation provides grants of up to £20,000, and a programme of support, to help you develop your skills and explore an idea for social change that has the potential to transform the way things are currently done. The fund specifically focuses on early-stage ideas when it’s harder to get funding and support to develop these ideas further.

For people aged 18–30* to explore their ideas for social change. This fund is for you if you have:

• A connection to the idea you want to explore (direct, indirect, or learned experience)
• The drive and potential to make social change.
• Not received grant funding before

*They prioritise funding to people aged 18–30, but do consider applications from those aged 30 and over. They cannot accept applications from those under 18.

They want to fund ideas that are: challenging injustice; early stage; original; long-term.
