BW Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- BW Foundation makes grants to partner organisations, working in partnership with other UK charities and within its agreed strategies, so a proposal is most likely to fit if its work matches one of the foundation's themes: poverty relief, health, education or religion.
- Its grant range is not stated, and its one published figure, annual giving of £56,999, may include grants to individuals, so a request should be sized to a specific project rather than to any assumed typical grant.
- It publishes no application process, so a short enquiry is a sensible first step to ask whether it is open to proposals and how they are considered, since project proposals undergo formal approval before individual grants are agreed.
- Because grants are tied to agreed strategies and projects are monitored throughout their life, the proposal should show clearly how the work fits those strategies and how progress would be reported.
