Ewelme Exhibition Foundation

The Foundation funds direct educational costs such as independent school bursaries (jointly with schools), college travel, training and apprenticeship equipment, performing arts ambitions, and school-led cultural outings or theatre trips for disadvantaged pupils. Its place-based focus covers Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, and the Ramridge area of Hampshire, with priority given to Oxfordshire. Support is directed toward gifted or needy young people in state-maintained or grassroots schools serving local communities.

Eligible applicants include individuals, academic institutions, and community groups in the specified geographic areas. Beneficiaries are young people aged 11-24 and older school leavers, with priority given to those who are gifted or financially needy. The Foundation welcomes unsolicited applications and works with schools and community groups to identify candidates.

The Foundation does not fund capital or building costs, nor does it provide core funding for organisations. Support is focused on direct educational costs and activities for individuals and school-led projects.

The Foundation works in partnership with schools and community groups, offering joint bursaries and direct grants for educational costs. It welcomes unsolicited applications and provides one-off support for specific needs such as bursaries, equipment, and trips. Funding is responsive and tailored to individual circumstances, reflecting its historic commitment to access and hardship relief.
