Description
1) Objective
The Waterloo Foundation (TWF) is an independent grant-making foundation created in 2007, and based in Cardiff, Wales. The Foundation gives grants to organisations both in the UK and worldwide. They are most interested in projects that help globally particularly in the areas of the disparity of opportunities and wealth and the unsustainable use of the world’s natural resources.The Small Grants focus on:
- (1) Nutrition: promoting good nutritional practices, with a particular focus on mothers and children during the ‘1000-day window’; providing micronutrients for young children and their mothers and de-worming drugs for young children; and providing micronutrients through food fortification for all;
- (2) Sexual and Reproductive Health: improving access to a range of modern contraceptive methods and wider sexual health and reproductive services, and increasing understanding and awareness of, and driving demand for, family planning services;
- (3) Education: improving the quality of secondary, primary and early childhood education and increasing the enrolment and retention of pupils at both primary and secondary level, especially girls and young women;
- and (4) Water, Sanitation and Hygiene: access to safe drinking water and improved hygiene.
2) Eligibility
They will consider applications from organisations with an annual income of less than £20,000 or that are newly established within the last 2 years; but in these cases we can only consider applications below £5,000. Applicants’ requests should always be in keeping with their organisation’s annual income; we do not usually provide grants which total more than 25% of an organisation’s annual income. Small grants are usually provided as a one-off donation. In exceptional circumstances some organisations may be invited to reapply. Grants will be prioritised for small UK charities led by committed individuals, especially those based in Wales, which are working to deliver projects in developing countries.
3) Location
Actions can take place worldwide in developing countries with a focus on Sub-Saharan Africa and occasionally South Asia.
4) Budget
The majority of grants is for a total sum of £5,000-£10,000 with project activities delivered over a one to two year period.
5) Application
The Small Grants Programme is open all year round without topic-specific deadlines. Please feel free to apply at any point by emailing your application to applications(a)waterloofoundation.org.uk (1-2 sides of A4). It should contain basic information on the organisation, evidence that previous projects have led to successful outcomes and sustained impact, a description of the project or purpose for which you are seeking funding as well as brief project details such as cost, timescales and activities.
