About Us

The Dixie Educational Foundation was founded to support education and learning for children and young adults in Market Bosworth and wider local area.

The published objectives of the foundation are to assist individuals and organisations with grants for the educational benefit of young persons under 25 years of age, who reside in the beneficial or extended beneficial areas of Market Bosworth.

The charity is run by a group of volunteer trustees from the local area and remains a not for profit foundation. It generates funds for grants through ownership of property in Market Bosworth and other funds under investment.

Individuals, groups or organisations are invited to submit applications for grants to support activities in the arts, education, sport and personal development. The trustees meet three times a year, March, June and November, and grants are considered on a merit basis at the full discretion of the trustees. We invite people to submit grant applications prior to each meeting.
