The Farmington Trust Limited supports educators and chaplains who shape young people’s moral, ethical, and religious development, with a strong emphasis on giving them time away from daily duties to study, reflect, and develop practice. Its core beneficiaries are UK headteachers, primary and secondary teachers, RE specialists, and chaplains, often through scholarships tied to specific inquiry projects or professional development. The Trust stands out for funding practical release time, university-linked research, and targeted support for school leadership and pastoral roles rather than broad general operating grants.
Primarily scholarship-based and project-specific support, often covering release time, supply cover, travel, and study costs rather than unrestricted grants. Awards are typically time-limited, linked to an application cycle, and may be invite-only for some programs; grant size varies from a few thousand pounds in cover costs to in-kind/resource support for school projects.

Watch the annual scholarship cycle: major Farmington and Temple Grove applications are typically due in autumn, with many 2026–27 cycles already closed. Applicants should propose a clear inquiry or development project tied to Religious Education, school leadership, or chaplaincy, and be prepared to explain how release time and cover costs will be used; some initiatives, like the 40 Schools project and chaplaincy support, are invite-only.
