International Baccalaureate Fund UK
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Eligibility is limited to schools: the Fund's stated criteria are schools experiencing temporary financial challenges or schools demonstrably increasing access to IB programmes, so organisations that are not schools should not apply.
- The annual report gave no readable grants figure and no grant range is stated, so the size of a request cannot be judged from the source.
- Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, so a school can apply when its need arises rather than waiting for a set date.
- The source does not say how competitive the grants are or whether relationships matter, so a school should build a clear case around temporary financial need or around growing access to IB programmes.
- Its grants are described as short-term, so a request should be framed as support for a defined period rather than ongoing core funding.
