THE WATES FOUNDATION
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.
