Deadline: 1-Jul-23
The Wolfson Foundation is seeking applications for its (Round 2) funding for hospices and palliative care organisations to support places which provide excellent care to patients and their families.
The Wolfson Foundation is an independent grant-making charity. They want to contribute to the health, resilience and variety of their society. They believe that supporting education — in its broadest sense and across the life course — is a key way to do that.
Aim
Their aim is also to promote excellence in the areas they fund. They often make grants to act as a catalyst to generate more support and help to attract funding to areas that may otherwise be under-resourced.
