Funding:
Ernest Cook Trust
The Ernest Cook Trust gives grants to registered charities, schools and not-for profit organisations wishing to encourage young people’s interest either in the countryside and the environment or the arts or aiming to raise levels of literacy and numeracy
Work which encourages or ensures the continuation of rural skills and crafts is of particular interest to the Trustees.
All applications are expected to link in with either the National Curriculum or with recognised qualifications.
A large grants programme for awards of over £4,000 and a small grants programme for awards of under £4,000 operate throughout the year.
The ECT aims to have a ‘light-touch’ application process with a view to enabling small regional or local organisations to apply for support.
All applicant organisations must be based and working in the UK and should be either state schools, registered charities or other recognised not-for-profit organisations.
There are no application forms.
