Cardiff Educational Endowment Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- If your work supports the education of young people from Cardiff and the surrounding areas, and falls within additional learning needs, digital deprivation, further education, core skills, or health and wellbeing, this Trust is worth considering.
- Grants go up to £20,000, so a request within that ceiling fits what it offers, and the annual report shows £232,296 paid in total.
- The Trust prioritises smaller, locally based organisations, so a small group should make its Cardiff base clear in the application.
- Applications are considered through an open process twice a year, sent as the grant application form to the Trust's email address, so plan your timing around those rounds.
- Organisations that are not voluntary and community organisations, not for profit companies, registered charities, social enterprises, constituted groups or clubs, or community interest companies should not apply, and projects that do not support the education of young people from Cardiff and the surrounding areas are not funded.
