The results of the members’ vote for the top donation of £5,000 are in! Find out who won the first round of Grants for Good of 2024.
In the first round of John Good Group‘s Grants for Good for 2024, five finalists chosen by a panel at The Matthew Good Foundation have shared £15,000. The largest donation of £5,000 will go to the winner of the John Good group employee vote.
The Grants for Good fund awards £60,000 annually, with £15,000 shared each quarter between five charities. The foundation received over 400 submissions from small charities and projects, so it was difficult to pick just five finalists.
During the process of choosing the finalists, the Matthew Good Foundation panel get to know the people behind these fantastic initiatives. These are often very innovative grassroots causes formed in response to the quickly changing needs of communities. The final five that were chosen all have fantastic leadership, and we are confident that a small grant will go a long way towards helping them to achieve their goals.
The final results of this round were:
- Menopause and Cancer – Granted £5,000
- Heart of Argyll Wildlife Organisation – Granted £3,500
- The Ocean Trust – Granted £2,500
- Getting Clean CIC – Granted £2,000
- Poole Sailability – Granted £2,000
Since it’s launch in 2021, The Grants for Good fund, which is funded by John Good Group donations, has distributed £150,000 to small charities and community projects.
It’s always a pleasure to help small organisations like these get their initiatives off the ground. We look forward to seeing how their projects and charities develop in the future.
