Youth Futures Fund
Joining together to build a brighter future for young Londoners.
Young people under 25 make up nearly a third of London’s population, yet many face enormous challenges. While London is one of the world's greatest cities, it is also a city of extreme inequality. Many young people struggle to access the opportunities, services, and support they need to thrive. Issues like poverty, unemployment, and violence disproportionately impact them, making it harder to build a secure future.

The Youth Futures Fund is an “All Together Fund” that unites individuals and businesses to raise essential support for young people across London. Each funding round focuses on a pressing issue, ensuring targeted and meaningful change. Past themes have included:
- New theme for 2025 (Coming Soon!)
"I want to give to those that support young people for whom life in London is far more challenging than it was for my fortunate generation. I wouldn’t know where to start to find and assess individual worthwhile charities, which is why I am attracted by the London Community Foundation funding model. I know I can rely on them to find and assess small charities that would benefit especially from their support. I like that they do it without excessive bureaucracy and through waves of funding, targeting over time a series of different charitable areas."
J. Tross - individual supporter of Youth Futures Fund since 2021
