Temporary Pause on Applications
The Trustees of Hertfordshire Educational Foundation have taken the decision to transfer our assets into a dedicated fund, which will now be overseen by our local partners at Hertfordshire Community Foundation (HCF). It will now be known as the "Hertfordshire Educational Fund."
Hertfordshire Community Foundation (HCF) is a prominent local charity which distributes grants to hundreds of local groups and individuals every year, ensuring that support is provided where it is most needed.
Reopening of Applications
During this transition phase, we're temporarily suspending our application process. We're working to finalise the transfer, with expectations to reopen applications by October 2023. The updated application criteria and process will be available through HCF's website.
Continuity of Support
Both Hertfordshire Community Foundation and our original trustees are confident that the legacy of Hertfordshire Educational Fund will go from strength to strength. HCF is committed to its sustained growth and its mission of awarding educational grants those in most need in Hertfordshire and will continue to do so for generations to come.
Ongoing Grants and Pending Applications
Grants awarded or applications in process - if your organisation applied for a grant before 31 July 2023 and it has already been approved for a grant or you are awaiting a response, this will be handled and communicated to you in the usual way by HEF.
