The results of the members’ vote for the top donation of £5,000 are in! Find out who won the latest round of Grants for Good.
In the second round of John Good Group‘s Grants for Good this year, five finalists chosen by a panel at The Matthew Good Foundation have shared £15,000, with the largest donation of £5,000 going to the winner of a vote by John Good Group employees.
The Grants for Good fund was recently increased to £60,000 annually, with £15,000 to be shared quarterly 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, which 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’re confident a small grant will go a long way to helping them achieve their goals.
The voting in this round was also the closest vote we’ve ever had – with all of the organisations attracting a great deal of support from employees, a testament to the exceptionally high quality of the projects that applied during this round.
The final results were:
BillyChip – Granted £5,000
Taking baby Steps – Granted £3,500
Team 1C – Granted £2,500
YourStance – Granted £2,000
Younwilders – Granted £2,000
Since it’s launch in 2021, The Grants for Good fund, which is funded by John Good Group donations has now distributed £100,000 to small charities and community projects.
It’s always a pleasure to help small organisations like these get their initiatives off the ground and we look forward to seeing how their projects and charities develop in the future.
