Giving and Philanthropy - Berkshire Community Foundation

Giving & Philanthropy

Giving money is easy, but doing it well is difficult.

Whether you are looking to achieve your personal philanthropic goals or reach your organisation’s ESG (Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance) or CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) targets, we are here to help you maximise your social impact.

“The work to achieve fairer, healthier societies cannot be achieved alone. We really value our partnership with Berkshire Community Foundation, which matches our passion and ambition for change. Through a trusted and transparent relationship, Berkshire Community Foundation provides us with expert, trusted advice on how we can best support the most vulnerable in society and achieve maximum positive impact.”

“Decades of local experience and knowledge have given community foundations unrivalled expertise in effective and impactful fund distribution, making them an ideal partner for the National Emergencies Trust to get urgent funding to where it was most needed... It’s been a real pleasure working with Berkshire Community Foundation, and we know that they remain ready to support communities with everything they have in future.”

“With unparalleled access to small, local charities and community groups, Berkshire Community Foundation are an invaluable partner for our “Ascot Racecourse Supports” community outreach programme. By working closely with them, we are better able to channel our efforts towards supporting the specific issues facing the county; and by introduction, helping further promote the needs of charities and causes via our national platforms.”

Some organisations we work with

Personal Philanthropy

Philanthropy can be simply defined as the desire to promote the welfare of your community. We can help you on your philanthropic journey.

Whether you are looking to create a lasting legacy or make a single donation to a cause you care about, we can tailor a method of giving that is right for you and your loved ones.

Corporate Philanthropy

Now more than ever, businesses are discovering their potential to create immense positive impact. Investors expect businesses to incorporate social and environmental responsibility into their business plans, whilst customers and staff increasingly demand good corporate citizenship from the businesses they support.

Whatever the size of your organisation, we can help you achieve your aims at a local level.

Working with charitable trusts

We work with local charitable trusts to ensure they are fulfilling their objectives effectively. Trusts use our services to find suitable beneficiaries, combine with other funds to create bigger impact, and provide a permanent home for their assets when it becomes hard to recruit new trustees.

“We at the Huntley & Palmers Benevolent Fund had come to a situation wherein the fund was almost dormant (the biscuit factory having closed in 1978) and were looking for a way to revitalise. We were informed of the work of the Berkshire Community Foundation and after meeting with them found that they were an excellent fit to carry on our work both for any surviving beneficiaries and for the wider local community, something I am sure that the Palmer family, who were the instigators of the fund way back in the 1920's, would be very happy with as they were great providers in the local community.”
