The Coopers' Company and Coborn Educational Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Foundation's main work is maintaining the premises of the Coopers' Company & Coborn School and paying for capital projects agreed with the School, so an outside group is unlikely to fit unless its project is one the School has agreed.
- Its bursaries and grants go to current and former students under 25, and the Foundation does not fund people who have reached 25 or who did not attend the School for two or more years.
- Voluntary organisations with educational objectives in Tower Hamlets or Havering may receive residual income, so a local educational charity could consider approaching it, and given total annual giving of £342,004 a modest request is more realistic.
- No application process is published, so get in touch through the contact shown in the annual report before sending anything in writing.
