Anguish’s Educational Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Anguish's Educational Foundation suits projects that help young people under 25 who need financial help to access and make the most of education, where the beneficiaries live in Norwich or one of the listed parishes (Costessey, Hellesdon, Catton, Sprowston, Thorpe St. Andrew or Corpusty).
- Its preferred areas are international links, arts and culture, science and technology, and education for young people facing additional challenges, and it mainly funds work directly with beneficiaries, sometimes covering essential costs that keep services running.
- A request of about £5,000 to £25,000 is a typical size, since about 8 in 10 of its 33 grants to organisations fall in that band, with a median of about £13,000, though its largest grant was about £120,000.
- Email the completed information form to the foundation's Anguish-specific address to ask for a pre-application meeting after the date and time given on its website for that round, because only those given the go-ahead may submit a full application before that round's closing date.
- Organisations that cannot meet the Chief Executive or Grants Manager, or whose beneficiaries do not live in the eligible area, should not expect to proceed.
