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 objective of the World Development Tropical Rainforests Grants is to promote initiatives working to protect tropical rainforests for their value to the climate, communities and biodiversity, principally through avoided deforestation. These could include: working on international or regional forest policy, campaigning for improved practices in commerce or innovative ways of reducing deforestation e.g. financial systems or solutions based on the value of forest ecosystem services. Preference will be given to initiatives working to protect tropical rainforests for their value to the climate, communities and biodiversity, principally through avoided deforestation. They will consider both practical local projects, and strategic initiatives.
They support: (1) Local projects: Applications for practical local projects that they will consider would typically be working on a specified tropical rainforest area, defined in hectares. They will generally only accept applications for the protection of areas larger than 10,000 hectares. Applicants will need to demonstrate how their project involves: exposing, addressing and overcoming the local drivers of deforestation; management of the specified area; methods to measure and monitor the protected area; sustainable livelihoods for forest-dependent communities; and (2) Strategic projects: they will consider applications for strategic projects that are working on addressing the drivers of deforestation on a wider or international scale. These could include: working on international or regional forest policy; campaigning for improved practices in commerce; innovative ways of reducing deforestation e.g. financial systems or solutions based on the value of forest ecosystem services.
2) Eligibility
Eligible organisations must have an annual income of over £300,000. They prioritise providing funding support to UK-based charities. If an organisation is based in a developing country, they must send contact details for a named person who is willing to provide them with a reference for the work.
3) Location
Actions can take place worldwide in developing countries with a focus on Sub-Saharan Africa and occasionally South Asia.
4) Budget
They consider providing one off and multi-annual grants (usually for up to three years). The majority of their grants in this programme is for a total of £50,000-£100,000.
5) Application
Each year they have 2 deadlines and they aim to process all the applications they receive within 6 months of the deadline date: 1st June and 1st December. The proposal shall contain the following information: (1) evidence of previous successful strategic programmes e.g. an attributable change in policy or improved supply chain; (2) specific measurable outcomes that are expected the programme to achieve, and the methods useed to monitor these outcomes; and (3) strategy put in place to ensure the sustainability for the long term. It shall not be longer than 2-3 sides of A4, and can be sent as an attachment to an email to applications(a)waterloofoundation.org.uk.
