The British Accounting and Finance Association (BAFA) appears to support the accounting education community in the UK, with a strong emphasis on improving teaching, assessment, and pedagogical scholarship. Its giving is highly field-specific and recognition-based, rewarding innovative educators, doctoral researchers in accounting education, and strong conference contributions rather than funding broad charitable causes. The association is especially interested in work that advances accounting pedagogy, curriculum design, and the dissemination of teaching and research innovation.
Primarily annual, program-specific support through awards, bursaries, and conference prizes. Grants are relatively small and targeted, with the doctoral bursary capped at £3,000 and conference awards/institutional recognition typically made through annual review or conference processes; some opportunities are invite-only or awarded from submitted conference papers rather than open philanthropic applications.

Watch the annual deadlines closely, especially the 30 September deadline for the DATA Award. The doctoral bursary is annual but details may be posted on the specific program page, while conference awards are typically tied to presentation submission and selection at the Accounting Education SIG Annual Conference. Applicants should align proposals with accounting education, innovative teaching, or assessment improvement, and assume a competitive, specialist academic review process rather than an open grant application portal.
