Registered charities in England and Wales can apply for funding for projects that help disadvantaged and disengaged young people.

The Foundation supports programmes designed to help disadvantaged and disengaged young people in the age range of 16 to 30 years to pursue pathways to education, training and employment, with the ultimate aim of helping them to become financially independent.

Their priority themes are:

• pathways/support for young disadvantaged or disengaged people in the age range
  16 to 30 into education, training or employment

• work experience/skills projects for young people aged 16 to 30 years

• youth work in London, particularly evening work for disadvantaged young people aged 16 to 30 years.

There is no minimum or maximum amount and projects can be funded for more than one year.

Since 2021, the Foundation has operated a process of applications by invitation only.

The next closing date for applications to the Peter Cruddas Foundation is the 1st September 2024.
