Grants of between £1,000 and £10,000 are available for smaller UK registered charities.
The overarching objective of the Wingate Foundation (also known as the Harold Hyam Wingate Foundation) is the general advancement of such Jewish and other charitable purposes, as the Trustees, in their discretion, see fit.
Specifically, the Foundation's objectives are to support smaller UK charities working in the UK and/or overseas, and to establish and endow fellowships, professional chairs, prizes and awards. The principal categories under which donations are made to charitable bodies are:
- Jewish Life and Learning.
- Performing Arts, excluding music.
- Music.
- Education.
- Social Exclusion.
- Developing Countries, and
- Medical Research, including travel grants.
The majority of grants are made in the areas of music and the performing arts, as well as Jewish life and learning.
The Foundation does not normally consider donations to the general funds of large charitable bodies or to projects which ought, in their opinion, to be able to attract sponsorship from commercial sources.
Further information, guidance and an application form is available on the Foundation’s website. Completed applications should be submitted by email to admin@wingate.org.uk
The next deadline is 5pm on 6 August 2024.
