Community & Charity Funding
Supporting projects that benefit students and the wider community
If your academy or MAT is looking to fund a project that has benefits for both the student body and wider community, then a community or charity grant might be a potential source of funding.
There are several different sources you can apply to for community funding, The National Lottery, private companies wanting to engage with the community and charities relevant to your project. And despite austerity local authorities are still putting aside some funding for community funding to support projects that will have a positive effect in their area.
Typical projects for community and charity funding grants are:
After-school clubs
Sports equipment and facilities
Special Educational Needs and disability
Conservation and recycling
Gardens and allotments
Community engagement (eg inter-generational projects)
At S2e we can help you source the right channel of community and charity funding and with our experience put together a bid which will have the greatest chance of success.

Last month the Department for Education released a new piece of guidance to help school building owners and maintenance staff identify building systems and prioritise maintenance and repair of their school estate.
We are returning to The Schools & Academies Show on May 1, 2024, at Excel London. As usual, our team will be on hand to discuss all your estate needs and we are also thrilled to announce that we will be running a competition in collaboration with the British Youth Music Theatre.
Ben joined S2e just before Christmas in 2023 and has found himself learning from the best. He revels in the variety of work his role holds in store, and says seeing pupils and teachers enjoying their new surroundings after an S2e project is one of the most rewarding parts of the job.
