About Us

Making a Difference

Cronfa Glyndŵr (the Glyndŵr Trust) was established in 1963 to promote Welsh-medium education.

We welcome applications for financial support from heads of school or group leaders. (See the section on How to make an application.)

We consult RhAG (Parents for Welsh-medium Education) and MYM (Mudiad Ysgolion Meithrin), to try and ensure that our resources are directed to areas of need, and where our intervention can actually make a difference.
In recent years, awards have been made in three categories.
