About
The Chadacre Agricultural Trust advances the education of the public in all aspects of agriculture and farming by providing grants for training and research. The Trust's scope includes the relevant sciences and practical crafts involved in farming and land management, ancillary trades, and nature conservation. Formed in October 1990 following the closure of the Chadacre Agricultural Institute (originally founded by the First Earl of Iveagh in 1920), the Trust is run by a Body of Governors who meet quarterly to assess grant applications and allocate funding.
Funding Opportunities
Grants: Education of the Public
The Chadacre Agricultural Trust provides grants to support projects organized by people working to educate the public, particularly children, about all aspects of farming and how it can co-exist with nature conservation. This funding opportunity is designed to promote agricultural education and awareness among the general public, with a special focus on youth education. The application process requires full details of the background and objectives of the proposal, the work plan and timescale, and curricula vitae for those engaged in the project. The Trust is a registered charity dedicated to supporting agricultural education and conservation initiatives.
Chadacre Agricultural Trust Research Grants
The Chadacre Agricultural Trust promotes research into all aspects of agriculture and farming, ecology and nature conservation, and the publishing of useful results of such research or study. The Trust accepts applications from agricultural research institutions for projects, preferably conducted by postgraduate students, that are likely to have a practical outcome for farming. Applications require full details of research objectives, scientific context, work plan for the project lifecycle, and curricula vitae for all researchers engaged in the project.
Farming Education Grants
The Chadacre Agricultural Trust awards grants to enable farmers and others working within agriculture to acquire relevant new skills. The scope of this grant category is broad and includes provision of training to improve communication skills, and the support of projects submitted by organisations providing training or promoting improved agricultural practices. Grants are also awarded to assist farmers or land managers to employ students on work experience. The application forms provided by the Trust require full details of the objectives of the project, a work plan and curricula vitae for all those engaged in the project.
Chadacre Agricultural Trust Student Grants
The Chadacre Agricultural Trust provides competitive grants to individuals enabling them to research or study the theory or practice of agriculture and farming, and related subjects. Grants are awarded for relevant certificate, diploma, degree, and higher degree courses. In keeping with the ethos of the original Chadacre Institute, priority is given to those studying practical training courses which prepare them for employment on farms. In particular, grants are awarded for continuing professional development, relevant skills training and apprenticeships leading to qualifications such as BASIS, FACTS and for practical skills intrinsic to farm operation, including tele-handling and chainsaw use. Grants are given only to individuals who are not eligible for state funding.
