The Triangle Trust 1949 Fund holds two grants rounds each year. As with 2024, during 2025 both of the Trust’s funding rounds have focused on work with young women and girls who have been in the criminal justice system or who are at a high risk of entering it.
The Spring 2025 funding round has a focus on organisations working with young people who already have a criminal conviction, while the Autumn 2025 funding round is targeted at organisations working with high-risk young people on the edge of the criminal justice system.
Please note that only eligible organisations led by and for women and girls are eligible to apply for this grants round.
The Trust offers grants of up to £80,000 over a 2-year period. The maximum amount available per year is £40,000. Grants are for project costs rather than core funding.
The Trust is particularly interested in proposals that:
o Demonstrate that they understand the wide range of challenges that need to be addressed to help young women and girls succeed after being released from a Young Offenders Institution or prison.
o Have specific outcomes and targets related to individual development, health and well-being, employability, education, and social cohesion, and/or
o Show evidence that work with young women and girls who have been in the criminal justice system is already taking place and can demonstrate a track record of helping them to achieve positive outcomes.
During the year ended 31st March 2024, the Trust awarded 44 grants totalling £1,033,100
(2023: 50 grants totalling £841,336; 2022: 32 grants totalling £558,800; 2021: 43 grants totalling £792,754).
