About English Bridge Education And Development

English Bridge Education And Development (EBED) supports the growth of duplicate bridge in England, with a strong emphasis on making bridge education accessible to young people and to individuals facing financial barriers. Their giving is highly programmatic and modest in size, aimed at helping participants and small organizations cover the costs of bridge-related learning, training, and youth participation. EBED stands out for combining youth development with affordability, using small grants and bursaries to widen access to an often niche educational activity.

Giving Approach

Small grants and bursaries, typically around £100 for individuals and up to £500 for organizations, with organizational support usually capped at 50% of activity cost. Youth grants are invite-only, while small grants require an application form and evidence of financial need; funding is drawn from an annual budget with no fixed public deadline.

How to approach this funder

For Small Grants, submit the required application form with clear evidence of financial hardship and a specific bridge-education purpose; for organizations, show how the grant will leverage other funding and keep the request within EBED’s typical 50% cost-share. Youth Grants appear invite-only, so youth programs or schools should connect directly with EBED staff rather than waiting for an open call.
