Pate's Grammar School Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Pate's Grammar School Foundation's support is directed at pupils of its two schools, The Richard Pate School and Pate's Grammar School, so an organisation with no link to those schools is unlikely to fit.
- Capital assistance comes through bids from the schools, made project by project, so an outside group would need to work through a school.
- The annual report records £550,000 awarded in the latest year reported, but no grant range or typical size is stated, so any request should be scaled to a specific pupil-linked need.
- Nothing published says how competitive the funder is, when it decides, or whether it has a published application process.
- Individuals should only apply if they are current or former pupils under 25 seeking help with education, travel or preparing for a profession, trade or service.
