7Stars Foundation Accepting Applications for Second 2026 Funding Round

Registered charities and organisations across the UK working with young people can apply for funding to deliver projects and work that supports young people aged 18 years and under across the priority themes of abuse, addiction, child carers, and homelessness.

In this round, 7Stars Foundation is offering grants across the following streams:

• Social Impact Grants: Two-year grants of up to £5,000 per year for charities working to address key societal issues affecting young people, including both direct solutions and approaches that address the wider societal challenges linked to the Foundation’s focus areas. In this funding round, there is an emphasis on LGBTQ+ inclusion and support.
• Individual Grants: Small grants of up to £500 for safeguarding professionals (such as social workers, lawyers, school outreach officers) representing a young person within the UK, in the care or legal system, who needs some extra help.

For Social Impact grants, organisations must have a turnover of under £1.5 million to apply.
