You will find information about the Trust's guidelines and application processes on these pages.  

 

In 2008 we received over 300 applications and made 52 new grants.  Since then the number of applications has doubled.  In response to this, and because we have limited funds available, the Trustees felt ir necessary to revise our guidelines.  Trustees have decided to stop funding some types of activity.  For instance, we will no longer make grants for supplementary schools, homework clubs or mother tongue classes.

 

New guidelines were published on 17th June 2009, so please check you have read the most up-to-date copy before submitting your application.  

 

Our success rate is currently running at around 10%, so please do not apply unless you strongly meet one of our priorities.  The Trustees are mainly looking to fund formal education projects.  Informal education and projects that are only loosely educational will not be funded.  If in doubt, please contact us for advice.

 

Please read our Guidelines for Applicants carefully before submitting an application, including the list of activities we will not fund - over one third of the applications we received last year were ineligible - resulting in a great deal of wasted time, effort and expense for applicants and for us.

 

You may also find it useful to look at the 2008 List of Grants Paid, though please note that many of these grants were made when different guidelines were in force.

 

If you are successful in applying for a grant, our offer will be subject to our standard terms and conditions of grant.  You will be sent a copy if you are offered a grant, but should you wish to read them before making your application, please download the sample copy at the bottom of this page.  

 

Information for organisations in receipt of a grant is also available through this section of the website.
