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.
