THE WATES FOUNDATION - Now Open to Applications

The Wates Foundation is open to applications once again after a review of its grant-making structure.

The Foundation aims to promote work that builds social values and responsibility and provides access to opportunities that address disadvantage.

Awards are either one-off payments or a series of grant payments over a number of years.  For 2010, the maximum amount that the grants Committee may award to applications is £30,000 over not less than two years.  Grants are awarded under the following programme headings:

• Building family values.
• Community health.
• Safer communities.
• Sustaining the environment.
• Strengthening the charitable and voluntary sectors.

Applications can be submitted at any time.  Please visit www.watesfoundation.org.uk for further information.
