Corporate Giving
Right now, local charities and volunteer groups are struggling to balance a major funding shortfall with soaring demand for support. This is where local businesses and organisations can truly make a difference.
More and more Berkshire-based companies are partnering with us to achieve their social sustainability and corporate giving objectives. With over 40 years’ experience in strategic giving, we are the ideal CSR partner for any organisation.
The benefits of partnering with us
Some organisations we work with
Bespoke Fund
Setting up a named, ring-fenced fund allows you to focus on causes and themes that are important to your organisation. For example, you can restrict your gifts geographically, or to particular beneficiary groups. Berkshire Community Foundation will then promote and seek out charities and projects that meet your criteria.
This is a tax-efficient way of ensuring that you can witness first-hand the impact of your financial gift. It can be created in two main ways (or a mixture of the two), both of which attract corporation tax relief:
Business Philanthropy Club
Our Business Philanthropy Club (BPC) is a network of like-minded local businesses and organisations, pooling resources to give effective, targeted funding to grassroots groups and projects in Berkshire’s communities.
In addition to receiving support from us on your giving and staff volunteering activities, members of the BPC also gain the opportunity to network and collaborate with other local business leaders.
Themed Funds
You may choose to join with other like-minded donors to support one of our themed funds, identified through our Vital Signs research as being crucial for Berkshire. Every penny counts towards supporting these important causes and the donations will attract corporation tax relief.
Helping older and vulnerable people get through the difficult winter months by providing support to manage high fuel and heating bills.
A fund that raises money to support children in Berkshire who are living with disadvantage, such as poverty or disability.
Focused on supporting local women and girls in need, or who suffer from major and hidden crimes such as abuse or modern slavery.
