Paul Hamlyn Foundation - Migration Fund

Paul Hamlyn Foundation's Migration Fund has reopened after a pause and is now focused on supporting not-for-profit organisations in the UK who are working towards the Foundation’s vision of a world in which everyone is free to move and no is forced to move.

Grants of up to £60,000 per year for three to four years (a total of £240,000) or grants up to £50,0000 per year for five years (a total of £250,000) are available to support core costs and specific programme costs.

Applications will be accepted from not-for-profit organisations of any size working anywhere in the UK who are working towards:

  • Embedding anti-racist practice across their organisation and work.
  • Adopting an organisational culture that centres care and wellbeing.
  • Shifting power to migrants and diaspora communities so their interests, perspectives and contributions are centred across the organisation’s work.
  • Building solidarity and collaboration across communities, while working towards transformational change that benefits us all.
  • Unlearning and challenging the harm, inequity, and oppression within their organisational structures and work.
  • Learning, reflecting and being responsive to change.

The funding can be used for work such as:

  • Collaborations, alliances, and coalitions
  • Campaigning and mobilisation
  • Community and worker organising
  • Intersectional non-party political education
  • Migrant and diaspora leadership development
  • Working towards changing law, policy and practice on issues affecting migrant and diaspora communities
  • Strengthening advice infrastructure
  • Community-centred strategic litigation and/or movement lawyering
  • Challenging anti-migrant and divisive narratives, laws and policies
  • Mainstreaming progressive narratives on migration and belonging.

Priority will be given to applications from organisations:

  • Led by migrants and diaspora communities.
  • That work with historically underfunded groups and regions.
  • With an annual turnover under £500,000.
  • That have less access to funding from other sources.

Newly established and unincorporated groups who meet the Fund’s criteria are welcome to apply.

How to apply:

There are no deadlines. The Fund operates on a rolling basis.

There is a two-step application process:

  • The first step is to request an enquiry call via the PHF website. PHF aims to respond to an enquiry call request within four weeks.
  • Those who are successful will be invited to make a written application through the PHF grants portal.

It can take between four to nine months to receive a decision.

Unsuccessful applicants must wait 12 months from the date of the declination before reapplying to this fund.
