The Wates Foundation
NOTICE
Posted 16 November 2011
The Wates Foundation reviewed its grant making policy in November 2011 in the light of a range of factors, including finance and levels of demand for support.
As a result of this review, the Foundation has adopted a wholly pro-active grant making strategy and will no longer take applications or bids for support from external organisations. Any unsolicited applications or bids will be rejected automatically.
This strategy will be in place for three years until 31 March 2015.
For all inquiries, please contact the Foundation Secretariat by Telephone on 01372 861251 or by email at director@watesfoundation.org.uk.

The Wates Foundation is an independent grant-making Family Trust that has been supporting the charitable and voluntary sector for almost 50 years. Its trustees and committee members are drawn exclusively from the Wates Family.
The Wates Family has a broad range of philanthropic interests. These are reflected in the programmes under which the Foundation makes awards, in response to applications received from organisations working in the Foundation’s stated geographical area of benefit.
Through the Foundation, the Family also makes awards pro-actively, on occasion to support interests not in the published programmes and in places outside the stated geographical area.
