Aims of grant making
The charity aims to support a broad range of educational initiatives across the six counties of North Wales, by the award of grants to institutions and organisations. It aims to increase student inclusiveness across primary, secondary, further and higher education, particularly in areas of high deprivation.
General information about our grants:

- Grants will usually be directed towards the public sector of education, although particularly deserving cases within the private sector may also be supported.
- Grants will not normally be made in support of an activity or purpose that is usually funded by public money.
- Funding may be provided for the relief of hardship and to increase student inclusiveness.
- Grants will be awarded in support of small capital projects which enhance education or or enrich the learning experience of pupils/students.
- Funding will be provided for projects which utilize the outstanding outdoor features of North Wales and are aimed at building leadership and personal qualities in young people in North Wales.
