January - Grant Funding for Schools

Here's another excellent grant funding opportunity for schools.

The Foyle Schools Main Grants

The Foundation will support projects which facilitate the acquisition of knowledge and learning and which have a long-term strategic impact. Key areas for support are:

• libraries, museums and archives;
• special educational needs;
• projects that encourage sustainability by reducing overheads or which help generate additional revenue;
• projects and activities which increase access and widen the diversity of attenders/visitors.

Dedicated schools and educational charities catering for those with Special Educational Needs (SEN) will also be considered. The foundation is interested in projects that develop the abilities of children/young people to access learning and educational opportunities.

• Yehudi Menuhin School in Cobham, received £100,000
• Nailsworth Primary School received £10,000 updating drama equipment.
• Ferhill Secondary School received £13,300 towards employing a poet.
• Kirkleatham Hall School in Redcar, received £13,000 to purchase stage and lighting equipment.

For Universities they will consider supporting arts, museum, archive or special collection projects, usually for capital funding, which meet a clear public benefit.

• King's College, London received £40,000.
