Key takeaways

U-Maths's grants go to schools for outreach, curriculum enrichment and student development, with a particular aim of extending impact for students from disadvantaged backgrounds, so your work fits best if it is about maths education or widening participation and runs through or with a school.
Its annual report, register entry and website publish no application process, so the sensible first step is to use the contact it shows for getting in touch and ask whether a request like yours would be considered before you write a full proposal.
No grant range or typical size is stated, so ask about the scale of its grants before setting a figure.
If your organisation is not a school and does not work with schools, check that fit early, as the funding described goes to schools.
