The Grants4Schools website has been updated with the following new funding opportunities
Funding for Projects Benefiting Rural Communities (England, Scotland and Wales)
Calor Rural Community Fund offers rural off grid communities the chance to gain funding for projects that will improve local life. Applications for funding are divided into three categories: £1,000, £2,500 and £5,000. There are 5 x £5,000 grants, 6 x £2,500 grants and 10 x £1,000 grants available to off-grid community projects. Funding applied for must equate to 50% or more of the total project cost. Projects supported can be anything from schools, community centres, village halls and sporting venues to youth clubs and scout groups, or even initiatives to support the elderly. The Fund re-opens on the 20th March 2019 – interested groups should register their details to receive a notification with funding dates for 2019.
Funding to Support Education in Disadvantaged Areas (UK / International)
Grants are available to support schools and registered charities that wish to undertake educational work with children and young people in disadvantaged areas. The British & Foreign Schools Society (BFSS) normally makes grants for educational projects totalling about £600,000 in any one year. The majority (85% of grants) are made to charities and educational bodies (with charitable status). Schools wishing to apply need to have either charitable status or “exempt charity” status. Previous projects supported include a grant of £10,000 to the Bloomfield Learning Centre. The Centre assesses and teaches 6 to 16-year olds with specific learning difficulties from areas of socio economic disadvantage in London specially Southwark, Lambeth, Islington, Camden and Greenwich; and the Afghan Association Paiwand received a grant of £33,240 for a new Saturday school in the deprived area of Colindale, North London which focus on maths and English in partnership with local authorities and mainstream schools. The closing date for applications is the 2nd January 2019.
Sutton Trust Summer School Programme Opens for Applications (UK)
The Sutton Trust has announced that its Summer Schools Programme is open for applications. The programme offers bright, state school students in Year 12 (or the equivalent in Scotland and Northern Ireland) from lower income families (generally, this will mean a household earning £45,000 or less) a taste of life at an American university. The programme, delivered in partnership with the US-UK Fulbright Commission, is centred on a one-week summer school featuring a wide range of activities in the US (in previous years this has been at either Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Yale University or Harvard). Introductory events and application support are also offered in the UK before and after the trip. The application deadline is 11.59pm on the 20th January 2019.
