Welcome to the Waterloo Foundation

The Waterloo Foundation (TWF) is an independent grant-making Foundation. We are committed to supporting projects that address global inequalities in opportunity and wealth, and those that tackle the unsustainable use of the world’s natural resources.

To that end, our main programmes support:

World Development

Supporting people and communities to build the basis of sustainable prosperity within developing countries, through their access to sexual and reproductive health services, excellent nutrition, high-quality education and clean water, sanitation and hygiene systems.

Environment

Support for projects which counter damage to the environment, especially human-caused effects, through increasing marine fish stocks and protecting tropical rain forests.

Child Development

Support for research, knowledge dissemination, and small Wales-based intervention projects about certain child development conditions.

Wales

Support for organisations working in Wales which provide support for unpaid carers, increase employment opportunities or address educational inequality.

The Waterloo Foundation has pledged its support to Divest Invest, a global movement united in the belief that by using our collective influence as investors to divest from fossil fuels and invest in climate solutions we can accelerate the transition to a zero-carbon economy.
