Launching September 2024, 20 teams, £200 seed funding and one goal - be crowned EY Foundation Enterprise Challenge Champion (and raise as much money as possible for young people in the UK.) Join the first ever EY Foundation Enterprise Challenge to be part of the fun.

In this landmark 10th anniversary year the EY Foundation is launching a brand new fundraiser aiming to raise £50k+ to support young people growing up in receipt of Free School Meals in the UK. From September to December 24, twenty teams from EYs graduate population will compete to see who can convert their team’s seed funding into the most money for the EY Foundation. 

Teams will be guided by senior EY colleagues and other business experts who will serve as Enterprise Challenge mentors, offering valuable insights and support. Not only will you be making a tangible difference in the lives of young people, but you will also have the chance to develop your skills, expand your network, and gain valuable experience in enterprise and business.
