The 7stars Foundation awards a range of grants to support the most challenged under 18 year olds in the UK to achieve their potential.

They have four priority areas of abuse, addiction, young carers and homelessness and operate four funding streams:

Project Funding of up to £5,000 for registered charities aligned to the Foundation’s funding priorities and age range.

Shine Bright long term unrestricted funding of up to £60,000 over 2 years (£30,000 per year) for registered charities delivering projects which target the underlying causes of issues facing vulnerable children. 

Individual Grants of up to £500 to individuals affected by the Foundation’s priority themes and represented by a safeguarding, legal, social or outreach referee. Applications must be submitted by supporting professionals.

Social Impact Grants offering two-year unrestricted grants of £10,000 (£5,000 per year) for UK charities tackling key societal issues affecting young people. 

The closing date for applications for all the above is 1 February 2026.

Child Poverty Grants will open on 1 March 2026 to offer two-year unrestricted grants of £60,000 (£30,000 per year) dedicated to supporting UK charities committed to ending child poverty. These will aim to give organisations the freedom to act strategically to address the many interconnected factors which trap children in poverty, rather than being limited to a single project.
