The Ironmongers’ Company - STEM Projects
Created: 12/09/2024
News/Events Category: Funding and FinanceThe Ironmongers’ Foundation wishes to support initiatives that encourage young people to study science subjects at school and go on to pursue STEM-related further education or vocational training, particularly in the area of Materials Science.
The Foundation works in partnership with other organisations to deliver specific projects, which must meet all of the following criteria:
- Grants are made to registered or exempt charities only. Applications will not be accepted from schools. Projects involving corporate partners must have charitable purposes and be for public benefit, not private gain
- Activities must be within the UK
- Preference will be given to projects engaging young people between the ages of 11 and 18 from disadvantaged backgrounds. Participants should be within this age range or be educators working with young people within this age range
Activities must be additional to those funded by government or other sources e.g. covered by school budgets.
Projects should have clear objectives and measurable outcomes, providing repeat engagement and focusing on how they will enhance the Science Capital of young learners from disadvantaged backgrounds. A written evaluation report demonstrating how impact has been measured must be provided on completion
Fund award sizes
Maximum: £10,000
Notes on award amounts:
Items of equipment will only be funded as part of specific programmes of activity. Building/capital works are not eligible. The Foundation prefers to support smaller projects where it is the sole funder or its contribution makes a real difference. Most grants are below £10,000.
Who can apply
Registered or exempt charities only, based in the UK. Projects involving corporate partners must have charitable purposes and be for public benefit, not private gain.
