Overview

Garfield Weston understand that communities need good facilities and that raising funds takes time and effort. For this reason their Weston Anniversary Fund will award grants up to £150,000 to provide new or improve existing community facilities.

Typically they encourage charities to have a broad base of support and so they tend to be one of a number of funders of projects. Their Anniversary Fund however is different as they will consider funding the entirety of a project, or help to complete your fundraising, with grants ranging from £30,000 to £150,000.
