Ernest Cook Trust - Funding Opportunities
All
The Ernest Cook Trust is one of the UKs leading educational charities. Rooted in the conservation and management of the countryside, the Trust actively encourages children and young people to learn from the land through hands-on educational opportunities on its estates and by offering grants.

As well as offering a wide-ranging programme of land-based learning for children and young people, 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 (in the broadest sense) or aiming to raise levels of literacy and numeracy.

The Ernest Cook Trust offers a large grants programme for awards of over £4,000 and a small grants programme for awards of under £4,000 which operate throughout the year.
