The Garfield Weston Foundation is one of the largest grant-making trusts in the UK. They provide grants to UK Registered Charities and Schools for Capital Costs, Revenue/Core Costs and Project Costs. They fund a wide range of areas, including welfare, youth, community, environment, education, health, arts, heritage and faith.

There are two levels of funding you can apply for:

  • Regular grants ranging from £1,000 to £100,000
  • Major grants of £100,000 or more (your organisation’s turnover or the cost of your project should be over £1million to apply for major grants)
