The 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
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.
