Combe Bank Educational Trust

• The trust funds the advancement of education in England, and its recorded support goes mainly to primary schools, a schools partnership and an academy trust, so a school or education provider in England with a classroom, outdoor or pupil-wellbeing project is the clearest fit.
• Typical grants have fallen between £4,000 and £65,000, and the median grant was £35,000, so size your request to a specific project within that band rather than a general appeal.
• Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, so there is no set deadline and you can apply when your project is ready.
• The annual report does not show how competitive the trust is or whether contact before applying helps, so it is worth asking the trust about this before you prepare a full application.
