Use of Information

THE AGREEMENT TO THE CONTENTS OF THE FOLLOWING POLICY – WHICH ALSO FORMS PART OF THE TERMS & CONDITIONS OF FOUNDATION AWARDS – IS PRESUMED BY VIRTUE OF APPLYING TO US

The information that the applicant organisation provides in relation to the application and in supporting documents and for the life of any grant awarded will be used to administer the award and for the Foundation’s own research and learning purposes. We may give copies of this information to other organisations and agencies when assessing the application and monitoring the progress of work covered by an award and evaluating the work as part of our funding programmes. These organisations may include accountants, external evaluators and statutory agencies such as the Charity Commission. We may also share information with other public, corporate or independent funders providing funding towards the work or who have a legitimate interest in applications and grants, and for the prevention or detection of fraud. We might use the information provided for our own research, but recognise the need to maintain confidentiality of vulnerable groups whose details will not be made public in any way, except as required by law.

The Wates Foundation Logo

The Foundation’s Trustees do not pro-actively promote the work and achievements of the Foundation through the literature, works or events of other organisations.

The Trustees restrict acknowledgement of their awards to appropriate mentions in the Annual Report and Accounts of beneficiary organisations. Otherwise, the Trustees promote the Foundation by making its grant making programmes accessible and available through the Foundation’s web site and by participation in Funder events run by accredited umbrella organisations.

Applications for use of the Foundation’s logo by beneficiaries of Foundation awards are considered on a case by case basis. Requests are to be made in writing to the Director.

As a general rule, we allow use of the Foundation’s logo on beneficiary web sites and project publications such as brochures and annual reviews during the life of the award. We do NOT sanction the use of the Foundation logo on letterheads, compliment slips or other general pupose stationery.
