| Funding Description |
Registered charities, schools and not-for-profit wishing to encourage young people's interest either in the countryside and the environment, the arts or aiming to raise levels of literacy and numeracy can apply for funding to the Ernest Cook Trust (ECT). The Trust operates two grant making programmes. The small grants programme (under £4,000) supports state schools and small registered charities which would like to undertake projects which meet the Trust''s objectives and require a small amount of pump- priming in order for such projects to take place. The large grants programme (Grants over £4,000) is aimed at more comprehensive education programmes. In 2008/09, the ECT Trustees gave £1.7m to support over 450 educational projects. |
