Impetus Funding for Young People NEET

Almost one million young people are not in employment or full-time education, and those from disadvantaged backgrounds are twice as likely as their better-off peers to not be in education, employment or training (NEET).

As part of a response to this, Impetus looking to fund two new partner organisations supporting young people who are NEET into employment, by developing work-related skills. This is part of their long-term commitment on skills and employment.

Successful organisations will receive:

• £100k in core, unrestricted funding for an initial period of one year (with potential for us to become a longer-term funder)
• Hands-on support from the Investment Team to help shape your plans and build organisational capabilities for impact and growth
• Support from a network of pro bono experts on anything from strategy planning and financial modelling to legal support
• Access to peer learning forums, providing training, networking and co-learning opportunities with 23 partners across our portfolio
• Access to sector-based coalitions to influence policy and the national conversation on issues faced by the young people we serve
• Access to additional grants through a network of donors
