Paul Hamlyn Foundation - Migration Fund

Aims/priorities: The funding is for 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.

Who can apply? Not-for-profit organisations of any size working anywhere in the UK can apply.

This includes:

  • Registered Charity
  • Company (limited by shares)
  • Company (limited by guarantee)
  • Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) or Scottish CIO
  • Unincorporated Association
  • Community Interest Company ·
  • Industrial and Provident Society
  • Trust.

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

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.

PHF remains committed to addressing historical under-resourcing of smaller community organisations led by and for migrants and diaspora communities. For organisations with an annual turnover of up to £120,000, the funder is open to considering grants that cover up to 50% of their annual income.

Grant amount: There are two levels of funding:

  • Grants of up to £60,000 per year for three to four years.
  • Grants of up to £50,000 per year for five years.

Consideration will be given to larger grants for partnerships to ensure all partners are fairly compensated for their contributions.

In addition, pre-application Access Support and a bursary of up to £500 are available.

Application process: 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.

Deadline: There are no deadlines. Applications can be made at any time as the Fund operates on a rolling basis.
