Key takeaways

  • Young Enterprise's stated purpose is education for young people in commercial and financial subjects, and its stated geographic focus is the United Kingdom, so work that helps young people build money, confidence or enterprise skills is the kind of work it describes.
  • Its annual report shows £5,000 awarded in total, which suggests any request should be modest, and the grant range is not stated, so do not assume a particular size.
  • No application process is published, so the contact shown on its register entry or website is the practical first step: ask whether it funds work like yours and what it would need before you write a proposal.
  • Its annual report and website do not say what it funds or when it decides, so treat any proposal as a question until it has answered.
  • Its annual report and website publish no exclusions or eligibility rules, so nothing here rules a charity out, though its stated purpose of education for young people is the test to check your work against.
