Community Matters Fund (STEM Educational Support), Local Giving
National Grid and Localgiving have again teamed up to provide £250k of funding for groups that inspire children to engage with STEM subjects and take their learning and connection with this area beyond what is covered by the regular school curriculum.
The Community Matters Fund (STEM Educational Support) is committed to supporting groups of young people in economically disadvantaged communities and those who are marginalised and underrepresented within STEM, widening the reach of a STEM career for the next generation.
Registered charities and non-profit companies could get up to £5,000 each from National Grid Electricity Distribution to engage children in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) activities. Unregistered community organisations can apply for up to £2,000.
Open to expressions of interest year round, will consider unrestricted funding and funding for core costs as well as projects as long as linked to the Foundation’s aims.
The Fat Beehive Foundation is an independent UK registered charity that provides small grants for websites and digital products to other small UK registered charities.
They only fund charities with an average income of less than £1 million a year.
