UK Grants& funding for educational purposes, cornwall & south West England - Ernest Cook Trust

Ernest Cook Trust

Ernest Cook Trustees make grants for educational purposes to organisations which are themselves charitable or not-for-profit. Grants tend to be between £500 and £15,000. Single grants are normally awarded but in exceptional circumstances grants up to a maximum of three years are considered. The Trustees do not confine themselves to, but have chosen to concentrate their assistance o­n the educational aspects of:- conservation and the rural environment; the arts, crafts and architecture; the encouragement, through education, of young people; and research devoted to these main areas of work.

There is no application form but applicants are asked to focus their request o­n a specific educational need and to present clear and concise proposals o­n a maximum of four sides of A4 paper. The enclosure of a self-addressed envelope will ensure acknowledgement of an application.
