Resources for Schools, Students, Researchers & Individuals

Fundingpoint does not generally cover funding opportunities for schools, students, researchers or individuals. Below however you can find some resources that may assist any of the above groups in their funding research.

Schools

Schools can often fall outside of the remit of many funders but not all. A limited number of grant-makers (statutory or private) will fund or offer support to schools, e.g. Léargas or Microsoft Ireland.

The main reason why schools are often not considered is that many funders specify that they cannot, or will not, fund the replacement of statutory expenditure. Companies however are often more open to making awards to schools and a number of trusts are prepared to fund work in schools with certain conditions.

Visit the School Days website for a list of fundraising ideas.
