About us![]() The Sutton Trust makes grants to projects that provide educational opportunities for able young people from non-privileged backgrounds. The projects range from early years (0-3 year olds), through primary and secondary schooling, to further and higher education, including research projects, with an emphasis on innovative start-up projects that have the scope to benefit large numbers in the future. The Trust does not fund individuals or capital projects. The Sutton Trust was founded in 1997 by Sir Peter Lampl. It has a particular emphasis on recognising the needs and raising the aspirations of the academically able. The Sutton Trust focuses on the following areas:
Most funding goes to educational institutions e.g. schools, FE colleges, universities. Applications from other groups that organise formal education projects or undertake educational research are also welcome. The Trust only funds projects that are based in the UK. Project funding is usually provided for a maximum of 2 years.
