Main Grants Scheme - Learning

The Foundation will support projects which facilitate the acquisition of knowledge and which have a long-term strategic impact. Key areas for support are:

• libraries, museums and archives; and
• special educational needs and learning difficulties;
• projects that reduce overheads or which help generate additional revenue will also be considered.

For state funded schools our main initiative will be The Foyle School Libraries Scheme (see special guidance notes). Dedicated schools catering for those with Special Educational Needs (SEN) may also be supported. Private schools will not generally be supported.

Citizenship, esteem-building, training, skills acquisition to aid employment, independent living, early learning projects or playgroups will not generally be considered.
