Inter Faith Youth Trust is offering grants of £200 - £500 for organisations running events or projects organised by and for young people focused around Inter Faith Week 16-22 November 2014.
Grants will be awarded for:
• Learning by children and young people (11-25 years old) from different faiths about different faiths, through social action. So you must include more than one faith and show how your project of social action will promote learning about faiths.
• Co-operation and understanding between faiths which preferably involve young people in planning, running, and evaluating; and which promote equal opportunities
• Increasing understanding between people of faith and of no faith
Grants are awarded for proposals for inter-faith activities by children and young people from Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Sikh and other faiths and those of no formal faith in understanding and co-operation. The age range for young people is 11-25 years.
Priority will be given to projects which:
Actively involve young people in planning, running, and evaluation of the project.
Promote positive action i.e. young people from different backgrounds coming together to address shared problems like improving green spaces.
Are run by non-statutory organisations, such as youth clubs, scout/guide groups, local voluntary and community organisations.
