Paul Hamlyn Foundation’s Migration Fund makes grants of up to £60,000 per year (3 to 4 years) or up to £50,000 per year over 5 years to support organisations 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 Fund seeks to support work that helps:
- build a society based on respect, care, and interdependence by dismantling the hostile environment and other harmful laws, policies and practices that negatively affect migrants and diaspora communities
- contextualise and tackle root causes of injustice migrants face, building on lessons from our past to dismantle wider systems of oppression and connect with other social justice issues
- build collective power within migrant communities through an intersectional lens so they can shape decisions that affect them and create momentum for transformational and positive change
- foster solidarity between communities, leading to greater understanding and helping to overcome division
- strengthen infrastructure for the migrant justice and related fields, including through supporting greater connection, learning and exchange
- explore alternative futures built on self-determination, justice, acknowledgment and repair for the harms of the past, and where all of us are free to choose where we live
The Migration Fund is open to applications from not-for-profit organisations of any size working anywhere in the UK. Newly established and unincorporated groups are also welcome to apply if they fit the criteria.
The Foundation will consider:
- core funding for salaries, organisational costs, etc
- funding dedicated to a specific programme
- funding for partnerships
The Foundation will prioritise applications from organisations:
- led by migrants and diaspora communities
- that work with historically underfunded groups and regions
- with annual turnover under £500,000
- that have less access to funding from other sources.
For organisations with an annual turnover of up to £120,000, the Foundation is open to considering grants that cover up to 50% of their annual income.
Deadline: Ongoing
