Aims/priorities: The funding is for relatively small-scale projects, which might not happen at all or would only happen on a lesser scale without the support of BlueSpark.
The Foundation aims to help children and young people reach their full potential by supporting projects that have the following objectives:
- Encouraging independence.
- Developing team working skills.
- Developing self-confidence.
- Promoting creativity and individuality.
- Encouraging aspiration.
- Enhancing educational achievement.
- Widening educational horizons.
Who can apply? Schools, community groups, clubs, societies and other not-for-profit organisations based and working in England can apply, as can individuals.
Grant amount: Up to £5,000 are available.
Awarded grants must constitute a significant proportion of the costs of the project rather than being marginally incremental to its funding.
Grants will only be awarded for the amount requested in the application and will not be scaled back to a lesser amount.
Application process: Applications should be submitted using the online application form, which is available on the BlueSpark Foundation website.
Deadline: Applications can be submitted at any time and are reviewed on a rolling basis at approximately eight week intervals.
