Grant News

Charities and not-for-profit organisations can apply for funding to deliver educational and vocational projects that improve the lives of disadvantaged young people across the UK.

Funding is provided by the Sofronie Foundation to support programmes and initiatives that:

• Increase access to higher education - educational programmes for young people that raise aspirations, build confidence, and develop skills in preparation for university
• Increase access to vocational training - initiatives that provide young people with practical skills or offer opportunities of work experience in preparation for future employment
• Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics - supports schemes that encourage and increase interest in STEM careers

Funding can be used to cover all project delivery costs, including staffing. There is no specified award amount.

Applications from smaller programmes that have the potential to scale up and become more established are particularly encouraged.
