- Securing, for the benefit of the community, high technical standards of design, manufacture, construction, maintenance, operation and performance for the purpose of enhancing the safety of life and property, at sea, and on land and in the air, and
- The advancement of public education including within the transportation industries and any other engineering and technological disciplines.

The maximum revenue grant available through the Small Grants programme is £10,000.

Matched funding can include ‘in-kind’ contributions.
Further information, guidance and details about how to apply is available on the Foundation’s website.
