Awards

We seek to be a leading grant-maker and regularly work with independent evaluators to improve our work. We always aim to listen to what charities tell us they need from a funder when developing our grant-making processes.

In an effort to promote good grant-making we like to share with other funders what we do and also like to learn from the practices of others. Another way in which we promote good-grant making is to apply for relevant awards. Over the years we have been very fortunate to have won or have been shortlisted for the following:

Charities Evaluation Services Awards 2011 – highly commended in the Funder category

The Business Charity Awards 2011 – shortlisted in the Corporate Foundation category

Third Sector Excellence Awards 2010 – shortlisted in the category ‘Innovation by Trusts and Foundations’
