Following on from its change in funding strategy last year, the Triangle Trust 1949 Fund is focusing its funding in 2024 solely on not-for-profit organisations working with vulnerable young women and girls who have been in the criminal justice system or who are at a high risk of entering it.

The Trust holds two grants rounds per year with grants of up to £80,000 over two years (up £40,000 can be requested per year):

The Spring round is for proposals wanting to work with young people who already have a criminal conviction.
The Autumn round is for proposals focused on targeted work with high-risk young people on the edge of the criminal justice system.

Registered charities, not-for-profit social enterprises and community interest companies that are working within the UK and have a UK office can apply.

To be eligible, applicants must:

Have previous experience of working with vulnerable young women or girls either on the edge of the criminal justice system or who already have criminal convictions.
Be requesting funding for a project working exclusively with young women and girls.
Work solely with women and girls.
Have a proven track record of running projects working with young women and girls that is both gender and trauma informed.
Be proposing a project with targets that are specifically linked to either reducing the number of young women or girls who reoffend or reduce the number of young women and girls who receive a first conviction.
Have an average annual income over the past three years of less than £1.5 million.
Be a registered charity or an organisation set up with a clear social purpose and appropriate governing documents stating this.

The Trust particularly welcomes applications from organisations working in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

The Spring 2024 application window opens on 18 April and closes on 23 May 2024.
