What We Fund

Funding innovation, equity and excellence

We do this through operating two separate grant programmes:

• Learning and Life Chances awards: a grant programme to which only the College and its Students Association may apply;
• Community Partnerships Programme:  for not-for-profit organisations operating in the areas served by the College.

The three key outcomes that the Foundation seeks to achieve through all of its grant giving are:

• A. Effective Learning: equity in accessing the best educational opportunities,
• B. Improving Pedagogy: demonstrating effective practice, increasing educator confidence and increasing learner attainment;
• C. Increased capability and capacity of the College and its partners to deliver on the first two themes.
