UK registered charities operating both in the UK and those operating overseas can apply for funding to support educational projects in the UK and abroad.
The Foundation, a UK-registered charity, distributes around £700,000 annually through this fund. Grants are open to UK-registered charities with annual incomes between £25,000 and £2.5 million.
Funding is targeted at two areas.
International projects may apply for between £30,000 and £60,000, with a maximum of £30,000 per year for multi-year initiatives.
UK-based projects supporting care-experienced young people under 25 can secure between £30,000 and £90,000, again limited to £30,000 annually.
Grants can run for one to three years, with the Foundation covering between 25% and 100% of total project costs. However, annual grant payments cannot exceed 50% of an applicant's three-year average income, and overheads are restricted to 20% of the award. Preference is given to projects that secure matched funding.
Eligible organisations must demonstrate financial stability, submit at least three years of accounts, and have safeguarding procedures in place. A commitment to environmental sustainability is also expected.
There is a two-stage application process.
The stage 1 application deadlines are as follows:
· International Grants - 5 November 2025
· UK Grants - 14 January 2026.
Applications shortlisted at this stage will be invited to submit a Stage 2 proposal.
