The Royal Society of Chemistry outreach fund offers funds that enable members, individuals and organisations to run chemistry-based public and schools engagement activities.

The RSC supports 12 month projects that:

• Develop science communication skills of chemists - building capacity and opportunities for
  chemists and chemical scientists to engage with schools and public audiences
• Engage with school students - inspiring and raising aspirations of student audiences to nurture
  a future generation passionate about the chemical sciences
• Engage with public audiences - involving a wide range of people in relevant contemporary
  issues in the chemical sciences
• Provide under-represented audiences, communities and places with inspiring chemistry
  engagement opportunities, delivered or coordinated by skilled people
