Community & Charity Funding
Supporting projects that benefit students and the wider community
If your academy or MAT is looking to fund a project that has benefits for both the student body and wider community, then a community or charity grant might be a potential source of funding.
There are several different sources you can apply to for community funding, The National Lottery, private companies wanting to engage with the community and charities relevant to your project. And despite austerity local authorities are still putting aside some funding for community funding to support projects that will have a positive effect in their area.
Typical projects for community and charity funding grants are:
After-school clubs
Sports equipment and facilities
Special Educational Needs and disability
Conservation and recycling
Gardens and allotments
Community engagement (eg inter-generational projects)

Ensuring the safety and health of staff, pupils, and visitors is essential for any school or academy. Trustees and leaders have a legal duty of care and must follow approved codes of practice and guidance to manage their systems and estates effectively.
