The Local Grants’ Committee of the Rose Education Foundation meets annually to assess and award funding. Your application must reach us by *DATE TO BE SET FOR 2018*. Applications received after this date will not be considered until the following round of funding, unless they qualify for our Discretionary Fund (please see below).

You can download the application form below, either as an editable Microsoft Word Document, which can be filled out on computer, or as a PDF document which can be printed and filled out by hand. We suggest that applications be sent via email, or they can be sent to our postal address, however in this instance we recommend using a ‘signed-for’ postal service.

You will be notified of the outcome of your application by *DATE TO BE SET FOR 2018*. When grants are awarded the Rose Education Foundation may require a written report, or the opportunity to visit the project, in order to monitor how funds are being used.

Discretionary Fund

A discretionary fund is available to make time-sensitive grants in special circumstances. To apply please use the Grant Application Form, but also include a covering letter or e-mail explaining why this application cannot be sent in during our normal application window. Applications for the Discretionary Fund may take up to three months to process. Awards from the discretionary fund are counted within the same £3000 per annum grant limit per project as our normal applications.
