Young Grant Makers application form

We are a group of 12 Young People who live in Islington, who have come together this year to make decisions about how Islington Giving’s funding for young people is spent. We want to fund projects that benefit young people in the best way possible with the funding available. We want to see change – for young people, their communities and the organisations that support them.

Please ensure that you have read the guidelines before making an application. Your answers will be reviewed and assessed by young people aged 17-24 - please avoid the use of jargon and acronyms to make your answers understandable.

Where word counts are indicated on the form, please note that these are a rough guide only.

You can save your application and come back to it at any time.

If you have any questions or wish to discuss your application, please get in touch. Islington Giving is committed to ensuring our processes are accessible to all. Please contact us if you would like to discuss providing the information required in a different way. Phone: 020 7288 6942 Email: laura.guy@cripplegate.org.uk
