Grants are available to support registered charities that run educational projects with children and young people under the age of 25 in marginalised communities within the UK and internationally. The Educational Opportunity Foundation typically makes grants totalling approximately £700,000 in any given year. For UK projects, the focus is on improving the educational outcomes and life chances of care-experienced young people. For international projects, the focus is on improving the quality, sustainability, and access to education for young people in marginalised and deprived communities. Grants for UK projects range from £30,000 to £60,000, and for international projects, up to £60,000. There is a two-stage application process. The closing date for applications is 13 May 2026 for International grants and 14 January 2026 for UK grants. Applications shortlisted at this stage will be invited to submit a Stage 2 proposal.
