The Kusuma Trust UK, an independent grantmaking organisation, aims to facilitate and increase access to education and other life opportunities for children and young people, with a focus on the most disadvantaged. The Trust enables children and young people to realise their potential and break the inter-generational cycle of poverty. The Trust has developed a strategy which includes working in England to improve education outcomes for young people.
Registered charities in England can apply for grants of up to £10,000.
To be eligible, projects need to align with the Trust's strategy. The funding could be used to contribute to a range of outcomes, including improvements in student attainment, teaching quality and community engagement, and an increased number of young people pursuing higher education and gaining employment.
To apply for a grant your organisation must have:
• A valid current registration as a charity with the Charity Commission for England and Wales
• The ability to deliver charitable activities that align with the vision and mission of the Trust
• A valid UK registered bank account in the name of the organisation and not any individual
Organisations applying for a grant will be assessed on:
• Organisational governance and management
• Organisational capacity to implement grants effectively
• Sustainability
• Partnerships and community engagement
• Evidence of impact and success
