December 2021 - Grant Funding for Schools

 Here's another excellent grant funding opportunity for schools.

The Foyle Schools Library Scheme


The Foyle schools library programme recognises that there is no statutory requirement for schools to have a library and that many school libraries are in a desperate situation through under funding and under development. Encouraging children to read widely from an early age will provide a major boost to improving literacy levels, which is a current key educational objective.

 Priority will be given to funding library/reading books. Some funding towards e-readers can be considered if a justifiable need is presented. The Foundation will also consider contributions towards library software, necessary IT equipment and furniture etc. in order to create a suitable library space.

Preference will be given to schools which can clearly demonstrate that their library can be maintained and renewed in the future. The foundation is keen to support schools that are working in partnership with other local primary/secondary schools to improve reading standards.
