Structured governance assurance for UK school governing boards.

Free resource

Find funding your school can apply for.

Match your school to grant funders by phase, region and focus area. Making the most of the school's resources is part of good governance, and finding the funding should not take hours. Free to use.

Funding for schools is scattered across hundreds of charitable foundations, community funds and corporate giving programmes. Each has its own phase, region and focus. Most boards never see the ones that actually fit their school, because no single place brings them together.

This tool does. Tell it your phase, your region and what the money is for, and it surfaces funders worth a closer look. It is built to support the volunteers who give their time to governance, not to add to the list of things they are expected to already know.

The finder

Three choices. A shortlist worth your time.

Set the filters below. Funders that serve your region are ranked above UK-wide funders when you choose one, so the most relevant options come first.

About this list. This is a starter set of well-known UK funders that support schools. Always confirm current amounts, eligibility and deadlines on the funder's own page before you apply, as programmes change. The live version of this tool refreshes from open grants data to show funders who have actually given to schools like yours, with typical amounts.

Maximising every resource

Funding is one part of maximising resources.

Finding the money is a start. SGAF Membership helps your board oversee how every resource is used and capture that oversight as part of the work you already do, between meetings and across the whole year.
