Educational Grant Making

Kent & East Sussex

Welcome to the Bedgebury Foundation

The Bedgebury Foundation is a grantmaking charity supporting young people’s learning in Kent and East Sussex, where lack of funding is a barrier.

We offer two categories of grant –

  • Teaching and Training (T&T)
  • Inspiring Young Minds (IYM)

Further guidance is available under each heading, as well as in the Application Form and in FAQS.
