Young Greens Active Fund

Young Greens Active Fund

The Young Greens Executive are in the process of setting their budget for this year. If you would like to apply for these funds please contact the Young Greens Treasurer as they’ve not yet been agreed for the 2022-23 year.

We offer grants to help Young Greens thrive and to help develop Young Green capacity across England and Wales. Whether that’s running in elections, political education, building skills of our members, campaigns, socials or developing your group.

There are three funds this year. Two are with the intention of supporting groups, and one for supporting Young Green election candidates.

If you have any question about the funds please contact Ash Howick, Young Greens Treasurer, via [email protected]
