The Biochemical Society’s Diversity in Science Grants scheme provides grants of up to £500 to individuals, groups, charities or not-for-profit organisations.
Help create and support a representative scientific community with our Diversity in Science Grants.
These grants are available to any individual or group with a project that will support and address issues relating to inclusion and diversity in science. You do not need to be a member of the Society to apply and you don’t need to be based in the UK; these grants are open to applicants from any country.
Royal Society of Chemistry Outreach Fund
We fund a broad range of projects and organisations that connect communities with the chemical sciences.
Through this, we want to help bring different people and organisations together to share ideas, develop meaningful partnerships, inspire new ways of working and encourage dialogue about the importance and role of chemistry in making the world a better place.
Engagement encompasses many approaches with diverse people in different settings – from schools and laboratories to museums and gardens. We are interested in funding projects and organisations that work with different audiences including youth, families, young carers, older adults or school groups.
We are particularly interested in funding work with under-served and under-represented audiences including people with disabilities and people facing social, economic and educational disadvantages.
Community Matters Fund (STEM Educational Support), Local Giving
National Grid and Localgiving have again teamed up to provide £250k of funding for groups that inspire children to engage with STEM subjects and take their learning and connection with this area beyond what is covered by the regular school curriculum.
The Community Matters Fund (STEM Educational Support) is committed to supporting groups of young people in economically disadvantaged communities and those who are marginalised and underrepresented within STEM, widening the reach of a STEM career for the next generation.
Registered charities and non-profit companies could get up to £5,000 each from National Grid Electricity Distribution to engage children in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) activities. Unregistered community organisations can apply for up to £2,000.
Open to expressions of interest year round, will consider unrestricted funding and funding for core costs as well as projects as long as linked to the Foundation’s aims.
The Fat Beehive Foundation is an independent UK registered charity that provides small grants for websites and digital products to other small UK registered charities.
They only fund charities with an average income of less than £1 million a year.
