Garfield Weston Foundation

The single biggest omission. One of the largest general grant-makers in the UK, and it explicitly funds capital, project and revenue costs, so a website sits comfortably inside a bigger bid or a capital request.

• What they fund: Charities working in welfare, youth, community, arts, faith, environment, education, health, and museums and heritage. Website and digital costs qualify as part of a project or capital ask.
• Typical grants: Regular Grants up to £100,000; Major Grants of £100,000+ (for which they typically expect organisational income over £1 million).
• Who can apply: UK registered charities with at least one year of accounts.
• The angle: No deadlines, decisions made year-round on a rolling basis, which makes it one of the more accessible large trusts. Frame the website as part of delivering your charitable aims, not as a standalone communications cost.
