Getting A Grant

Grants provide non-repayable funding for specific projects, but finding the right opportunities requires research. A funding consultant can help identify them and, for a small fee, aid with applications. Additionally, using a grant database like FundEd allows you to search by key stage, category, and region, giving you access to valuable insights from previously funded projects.

School Fundraising For A Playground

Fundraising plays a vital role in enhancing education by providing the resources and experiences that general funding may not cover. A well-planned approach can make a significant difference, but the best strategy depends on your school’s unique circumstances. Whether it’s applying for grants or engaging parents and the local community, understanding your options is key to success.

Our free guide explores the most effective fundraising methods for schools, helping you create a strategy that works for you. From leveraging staff and PTA support to learning from past successes, this resource will equip you with practical tips to maximise your fundraising efforts.
