Full details from The Waterloo Foundation
The Waterloo Foundation, an independent grant-maker rooted in Wales, runs a Wales Fund for three issues: unpaid carers, equity in education and pathways out of poverty. Grants typically range from £5,000 to £30,000, and requests should be in keeping with your income, usually no more than 25% of it. Unrestricted funding and running costs can be considered, and multi-year grants are usually only for organisations with a track record with the foundation. Preference goes to charities deeply rooted in their communities with strong evidence of impact, sustainability and reach. Applications are rolling, by email, with no form.
Write a proposal of no more than three sides of A4 following the Wales application guidelines, and send it in the body of an email to applications@waterloofoundation.org.uk, naming the programme. Do not attach files.
