The Educational Opportunities Foundation offers grants to support new and pilot educational projects for children and young people under 25 in marginalised communities in the UK and internationally.
For UK projects, the focus is on improving the educational outcomes and life chances of careexperienced young people. Grants of between £30,000 and £90,000 are available for up to three years. Eligible applicants include charities with an annual income between £25,000 and £2.5 million.
For International projects, the focus is on improving the quality, sustainability, and access to education for young people within marginalised and deprived international communities. Grants of between £30,000 and £60,000 are available for up to three years. For international projects, the Educational Opportunity Foundation currently has two priority areas, and particularly welcomes applications which focus on:
• Addressing the specific challenges that children and young people who have been displaced by conflict face in accessing quality education.
• Enhancing the opportunities and reducing barriers for girls to access education
Eligible applicants include small to medium sized organizations with an annual income of between £25,000 and £2.5 million and must have UK charitable status.
The Foundation will fund between 25% to 100% of the total project costs but will give preference to projects with some degree of matched funding.
There is a two stage application process, and applications can be submitted at any time.
Application shortlisted at this stage will be invited to submit a Stage 2 proposal.
