Acknowledgment
We are delighted to support your organisation and are happy for you to acknowledge our support in any publications you produce about the work which the Foundation is directly supporting and in any other appropriate mediums e.g. annual report. Where you list your donors, whether in your accounts or in other materials, please include the Foundation.
For Major Grants (£100,000 and above) we will be delighted to discuss acknowledgment options with you – this may involve the naming of a specific space or room within a building or of a particular project.

Over 1900 charities across the UK benefit each year from the Foundation’s grants.

Social Media
If you have an active social media presence and wish to announce a successful grant on a social media platform, such as Facebook or Twitter, you are welcome to do so.
Please note it is not a condition of the grant for you to share any information on social media.
Pledge Recipients
We are delighted to have made a pledge to your organisation and wish you every success in obtaining the rest of the funding from other sources. Until the funds are released, we are not an active donor and therefore ask that we are not referenced on websites or in any marketing materials. The use of the Garfield Weston logo is only permitted once the pledged funding has successfully been released and the funds are in active use. However, we are happy for you to refer to our pledge in any applications for potential funding, in discussions with potential funders or in a press release to announce our pledge, provided it is explicitly noted as a pledge.
