The Generational Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Generational Foundation's strategic focus is the training and education of children and young people, with grants to schools and multi-academy trusts and support for children's reading skills and young people's personal development, so a youth education project is the clearest fit.
- Its trustees may fund any purpose charitable under the law of England and Wales, so its remit is wider than that focus.
- Its typical grants fall between £25,000 and £500,000, and the median of its grants to organisations was £60,000, so a request in that range matches what it usually gives.
- That band is typical, not a limit.
- No application process is published and the contact shown is for enquiries, so send a short enquiry first, and ask whether work outside England is in scope, since no geographic focus is stated and its grants shown are mainly in England.
