Grants

Investing in the future of education.

Changing the future of education means making new ideas a reality.

The diversity of challenges facing the education sector makes it ripe for innovation and new thinking. We are committed to growing and supporting these ideas, making sure they reach their full potential.

The Varkey Foundation Challenge Fund selects the most promising early stage ideas which offer opportunities to improve teaching standards, build capacity and strengthen the status of the teaching profession globally.

Since the fund’s launch in 2016, we have backed projects around the world, helping to train nearly 1,000 teachers and school leaders. More than 10,000 pupils have benefitted from the projects we have funded.

We are currently reviewing our grant making process and unfortunately there are no grants available at this time.
