The Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, an independent grant-making body said its new Young People Leaving Care funding stream will be open to applications for projects that ensure care leavers are decision makers in the choices that affect their lives.
The new funding stream is expected to provide around £2m each year over the next five years.
Money will be made available to charities that are able to help care leavers form healthy relationships that assist them in making a successful transition to adulthood.
