Mulberry
Schools Foundation

Mulberry Schools Foundation is the charitable arm of Mulberry Schools Trust, established in 2019. The Foundation is creating exceptional opportunities for children and young people facing disadvantage, so strengthening their capacity to make a difference in their world. We support, develop and champion young people and their families in the Trust’s schools, its partner schools and its local and global communities. Through our wide range of commissioned and funded activity in support of communities facing disadvantage, we remove barriers, create opportunity, give voice, innovate for change and sustain impact.

The Foundation is currently closed to grant applications.
