The next deadline for the Royal Society of Chemistry Outreach Fund is 5pm (UK time) on 5 June 2026.
The Fund offers grants of up to £10,000 to support exciting and creative chemical science engagement activities across the UK and Republic of Ireland.
We fund a broad range of projects that connect communities from all backgrounds with the chemical sciences. If you work with, or have an idea to engage, schools, community groups, families, public audiences or underserved communities, this fund could help support your work or bring a brand‑new idea to life.
If you’re thinking of applying, or just want to explore what’s possible, you might also find inspiration in the RSC Education Outreach Hub, which brings together a wide range of outreach resources and case studies.
Applications to the Outreach Fund are accepted on a rolling basis, with deadlines at 5pm (UK time) on 5 June, and a final closing date of 5pm on 2 October 2026.
