1   Link   Learning Launchpad Fund
The aim of the Learning Launchpad Fund is to help create lasting projects that support young people between the ages of 14 and 25 to discover their potential, pursue their goals and achieve their dreams. Launchpad is looking for ideas that help young people reach beyond academic paths to success, encourage learning-by-doing, and develop their non-cognitive 'soft' skills through real-world experience. Therefore, it seeks to support projects that do not have traditional academic learning routes as their focus.

4   Link   Funding for Alcohol Education Projects (UK)
The Drinkaware Trust "Ideas Fund" awards small grants of between £100 and £2,500 to local community (and occasionally national) initiatives designed to promote responsible drinking and reduce alcohol related harm. The Trust funds projects ranging from public education campaigns, peer-led education schemes, educational theatre work, conferences, provision for educational materials, training, workshops to other educational events. In particular the Trust welcome applications that aim to further the strategic objectives of the Trust, which are to; reduce alcohol misuse amongst under-18s; and to raise awareness about long term health harms caused by hazardous or harmful levels of drinking. The Trust accepts applications from; registered charities; other voluntary organisations; and statutory organisations and partnerships. In addition the Trust also makes grants of up to £25,000 for larger projects that undertake direct, hands-on work with individuals and the community as well as grants of up to £100,000 to help larger scale projects pack a more powerful punch or reach a wider audience. An example of a previously funded project is "Party Safe" a partnership project between Rivington School and a local group called Youth Express. Young people from the latter organisation worked together to produce a ten to twenty minute DVD demonstrating the dangers of drinking to excess and showing how quickly things can get out of control.

5   Link   Equitable Charitable Trust (UK)
The Equitable Charitable Trust is an education charity. It makes grants totalling up to £1 million each year towards education projects for children and young people under the age of 25 who are from disadvantaged backgrounds or disabled. Grants of up to £30,000 can be applied for, though most are for sums between £5,000 and £20,000 and multi-year grants rarely exceed £7,500 p.a.

Grants are made by the Trust under three priorities: education projects or services that support the learning and development of disabled children and young people in the UK; formal education projects for disadvantaged children and young people in the UK that support delivery of the National Curriculum (i.e. curriculum enrichment projects in schools) or that deliver accredited vocational learning that will increase employability; and education projects that will help increase participation in, or improve the quality of, education for disadvantaged or disabled children and young people in developing countries.

The length of funding can range from one to three years towards project costs, capital expenditure, equipment and/or salary costs of a post. Previously supported projects include a science project for disadvantaged school children, an accredited trade training project for NEET young people, the salary of an education adviser working with disabled young people and a horticulture training programme for young people with disabilities. Applications can be submitted at any time and are considered on a rolling basis by the Trustees. It is important to read the Trust’s guidelines, including the list of what it cannot fund, before making an application.
