The Trust wishes to stimulate and support imaginative new projects that will
enhance the Church's contribution to education.
For example, in 2000 it set up All Saints Saxton Fellowship (formerly the Patrick V Saxton Fellowship), to which £100,000
is dedicated every three years. The purpose of the Fellowship is to sponsor research
into either Home Economics or Religious Education.
The Fellowship is named after Patrick V. Saxton, the former Chairman of the Trustees who died in 2000 and who was instrumental in initiating the idea of such a Fellowship. (Click here for further details.)
In addition to their support of the All Saints Saxton Fellowship, the Trustees
are keen to identify and support pro-active projects that promote the development
of education, particularly in the areas of Religious Education, Home Economics
and related areas and kindred subjects, and Multi-cultural/Inter-faith Education.
Priority is given to projects whereby teachers (especially of Religious Studies
or Home Economics and related areas) are helped directly or indirectly.
Preference will be given to "pump-priming" projects.
Projects most favoured are those which will "make a difference", either through
the intrinsic quality of the new ideas or approach being put forward, or through
the quantity of teachers and/or pupils who will benefit from it.
Larger corporate applications will be scrutinised carefully to ensure that they
give "value for money".
Grants will not normally be made for a period in excess of five years. |

School Education/Religious Education, and contributed to JC2000, to help to
meet the costs of the Millennium Arts Festival for Schools. |
| APPLYING FOR A CORPORATE AWARD |
Those interested in applying for a Corporate Grant are invited to discuss
their ideas informally with the Clerk, before requesting a Corporate Application
Form.
In some cases, the Trustees appoint a "Link Trustee" who can assist those who
are preparing an application for a Corporate Award and can then subsequently act
in a liaison role throughout the period of the Award.
Corporate applications are put before the Awards Committee in May.
Final decisions can only be made by the full Trust which meets in June.
The form is available on this web site: you can complete either the interactive version, which is then emailed automatically to us,
or the printable version.
The closing date for receipt of fully completed Corporate Award applications for 2009-2010 is:
9 March 2009
