South Yorkshire Mayoral Youth Impact Fund

About the fund

South Yorkshire’s Community Foundation hosts the South Yorkshire Mayoral Youth Impact Fund, created to remove financial barriers for exceptionally talented young people. Grants between £2,000 and £10,000 can support coaching, mentoring, equipment, travel, training and participation fees.

Who can apply

This fund is for individual young people aged 11–19 living in Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham or Sheffield and facing significant financial barriers. Applicants must meet the financial criteria and demonstrate commitment, talent or potential in their field. It is not a general organisational grant for charities; referrals or nominations from trusted adults are encouraged.

Closing date

Friday 4 December 2026. SYCF’s application page states 5pm, but the fund FAQ states 9am. The earlier time of 9am is used for this website listing as a precaution; applicants should confirm the precise deadline directly with SYCF.
