Aims/priorities: Funding is intended to support projects targeted at children under the age of 16 years and their families who live in England and Wales focusing on the themes of education, health and nutrition, and sport. Grants can support projects and activities focused on:
- Education: to ensure children get the best education, no matter what their background.
- Health and nutrition: to ensure children have access to healthy food.
- Sport: to ensure children have access to sport and activities irrespective of social background or physical ability.
Preference will be given to applications with a clearly defined and measurable outcome.
Who can apply? Applications are accepted from not-for-profit organisations and community groups in England and Wales. Preference will be given to applicants who have a demonstrable track record of delivering outcomes. The Foundation particularly likes to support projects in areas where their main sponsor Oakland International is an integral part of the local community.
Grant amount: Funding is at the discretion of the Trustees. The Foundation has limited funding available and there is strong competition for grants.
Application process: All applicants must complete an application form. Applicants can complete it online, or can request a copy by emailing the Foundation.
Deadline: Applications can be made at any time.
