• Schools and organisations application

  • Before you begin

    Use this form if you are applying on behalf of a school, college, charity, community organisation, sports club, arts organisation or other group seeking funding for a project that benefits children or young adults.


    KOGSF supports educational and developmental opportunities across Kettering Borough and surrounding communities where the project meets the Foundation’s eligibility criteria and creates a meaningful benefit for young people with the required connection to Kettering.


    Projects can extend well beyond classroom learning. KOGSF may support activities, equipment, training, arts, sport, social or physical development and other opportunities that help young people participate, progress and achieve.


    KOGSF explicitly welcomes projects that create opportunities for disabled children and young adults, and for young people living with health conditions. The focus is not simply on providing disability support: it is on removing practical barriers and enabling ambition, participation, development and achievement.


    If the request is for one young person rather than a group or project, please use the individual grant or bursary application instead.

  • 1. Eligibility

    These questions help establish whether this is likely to be the right application route. If you are unsure, KOGSF would rather help you check before you complete the full form.
  • Is your school or organisation based within Kettering Borough?*
  • Will this project directly benefit children or young adults who live in Kettering Borough, attend an educational institution there, or otherwise have a qualifying Kettering connection?*
  • Is the main purpose of the project educational or developmental?*
  • Is the support you are requesting for something that is not normally available through statutory/public funding?*

  • Your project may still be worth discussing with KOGSF, particularly if it serves young people with a strong Kettering connection. However, the Foundation’s formal eligibility criteria must be met. Please read [Support for schools and organisations / Who can apply?] or contact KOGSF before spending time on the full application. If you have already checked your position, you may continue.
