The Magnus Educational Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. Don't spend time on an approach; the similar funders below support the same kind of work.
Key takeaways
- The Magnus Educational Foundation does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered.
- The trustees consider specific applications from the Song School, the Church and the Magnus Church of England School, so a group with no link to those bodies should not apply.
- Its work centres on special school benefits, musical education for pupils and young choristers, and financial help for pupils and former pupils under 25, so a request should be framed around one of these.
- Its annual report shows £44,495 of giving, but no typical grant size is stated, so a grant writer should not assume an amount before making contact.
- Recipients of special grants are encouraged to report their later achievements, so a successful applicant should plan to share outcomes.
