Among the the first-round beneficiaries is a newsletter about young bands in Wales and a project that trains older schoolchildren to be "playground buddies".
The first tranche included 1,000 for youth empowerment group Cityzen, which will use the cash to encourage Hackney primary pupils to set up school councils, and train older children to look out for younger pupils who feel left out.
A grant of 1,000 will go to art and music organisation Dragon Bands, based in Pontypool, Wales, to establish a newsletter for young music fans.
And more than 900 will go to a participation forum in St Helen's, Merseyside, to ensure young people can contribute to the development of services in the area.
