There is a growing involvement of young people in youth funders’ grantmaking. We hear about how this can work in practice, and the benefits and challenges from the perspectives of two young grantmakers, a funder, and a facilitator of youth involvement in grantmaking processes. Plus we’ll hear some top tips for funders working with young people.

We spoke to:

• Dan Seifu from the Involving Young People Collective of the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation. 
• Neha Bhayani, one of Blagrave Trust’s grants advisors, working on the Listening Fund. 
• Edd Fry, who manages the Listening Fund on behalf of the Blagrave Trust
• Keji Okeowo from Hudl Youth Development Agency.

This episode is part of our first series which builds on Collective Discovery’s work as Learning Partner of the Listening Fund. 

You can find all of the Listening Fund’s resources, including blogs and practice papers on a range of topics here. You can also follow the Fund on X @listeningfund.

A series overview, more information on our guests, and additional resources on each topic can be found in the shownotes.
