Programmes 2011


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 demands 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.
