Ernest Cook Trustees make grants for educational purposes to organisations which are themselves charitable or not-for-profit. Grants tend to be between £500 and £15,000. The Trustees do not confine themselves to, but have chosen to concentrate their assistance on the educational aspects of:- conservation and the rural environment; the arts, crafts and architecture; the encouragement, through education, of young people; and research devoted to these main areas of work.
There is no application form but applicants are asked to focus their request on a specific educational need and to present clear and concise proposals on a maximum of four sides of A4 paper. The enclosure of a self-addressed envelope will ensure acknowledgement of an application.
Deadline
The Trustees consider grant applications below £3000 at meetings in February, May, July, September and December. Grants in excess of £3000 need to be submitted by 31st January and 31st August.
