About Us We award grants to fully fund charity projects which improve people’s lives and match fund the money that Morrisons colleagues raise for their chosen charities. Charities are encouraged to read our Grant Funding policy before submitting an application. We receive all of our income from Wm Morrison Supermarkets Limited, which founded the Foundation in 2015. Morrisons colleagues act as ambassadors for the Foundation. They help to raise awareness at a local level, encourage charities to apply for funding and organise presentations. Our eight trustees set the direction of the Foundation and ensure it fulfills its charitable purposes. Donated in Grant Funding Donated in Match Funding We know that all over the country charities are doing incredible and inspiring work to help others and make local communities better places to be. Our grants have supported good causes across England, Scotland and Wales. Here’s where our support has reached so far. Our support has helped charities throughout Scotland, providing high value donations and community grants. From Newcastle to Portsmouth, and Norwich to Bristol, our grants have covered the length and breadth of England. A range of Welsh charities have received a cash boost, supporting our commitment to make a positive difference in communities across Wales. Match funding supports the charities that Morrisons colleagues spend their time fundraising for, and provides a cash boost to their efforts. Match funding is available for Morrisons colleagues twice a year. It can support a range of fundraising activities and events including: Raised £640 for SCOPE by taking part in a tandem sky dive. Raised £858 for Macmillan Cancer Support by organising a tombola and quiz night. Raised £474 for British Heart Foundation by participating in a London to Brighton off-road bike ride. How long can I expect to wait? Match funding applications are normally processed within six weeks and grant applications can take up to three months to review. How will I be notified?
