Partners and Funders

The Young Foundation is a Registered Charity (274345) and Company Limited by Guarantee (1319183) in England and Wales. Our success is due to the generosity of our supporters. Our funders and partners include corporations, government departments, local authorities, charitable trusts and foundations and individuals. Every year we publish our annual accounts which outlines how our funds are raised and spent.

Attracting a diverse group of funders is crucial to our work. This diversity is reflected in the way in which organisations and individuals support us, both financially and in-kind, as consultants and secondees.
