Wolfson Foundation

The main objective of the Foundation is the funding of capital infrastructure in the following areas:

• Science and medicine.
• Arts and humanities.
• Heritage.
• Education.
• Health and disability.

Applications are accepted from organisations and educational establishments in the UK which are registered charities or which have charitable status. The main grants programme provides support for places. These grants are for capital initiatives, ie buildings (new build or refurbishment) and equipment. The Foundation funds a broad range of organisations working across the fields of education, science and medicine, health and disability, heritage and arts and humanities.

There are two funding rounds per year and the Foundation operates a two-stage application process.

• The deadlines for Stage 1 applications are generally 5 January and 1 July each year but these can vary between specific categories, so applicants are advised to check the Foundation's website before applying. (The Secondary schools and sixth form colleges scheme has a slightly different schedule.)
• Stage 1 determines whether a project is eligible and applications should be submitted online through the Wolfson Foundation website. Applicants who are successful at stage 1 will be invited to submit a stage 2 application.
