Foyle Foundation – Deadline: Rolling
Schools Library Programme (UK) through the Schools
Library Programme, state-funded schools and sixth form colleges across the UK that do not have or want to improve their libraries are able to apply for funding of between £2,000 and £10,000.
Although secondary schools are eligible to apply, priority is given to primary schools. Priority, and the majority of the funds, will be awarded for physical library/reading books.
The Foundation can consider a contribution towards e-readers and electronic reading resources, however a strong case to support and explanation of need will have to be made within the application.
The Foundation will also consider contributions towards library software, necessary IT equipment and furniture etc. Local deprivation levels, the Ofsted report and current iteracy levels at the school will be taken into account when assessing applications.
Applications can be submitted at any time, although it can take up to four months to receive a decision.
