Making an Impact on Small Non-profits
We exist to drive meaningful social and environmental change. We do this by equipping grassroots non-profits to succeed, and by helping businesses amplify their impact in the community.
Since 2011, we’ve worked with hundreds of small charities. Together, we’ve directed more than £2m of corporate funding into projects that put that mission into practice.

Why we’re here
Amplifying Small Non-profits
Small, local charities can make a huge difference with modest funding. But many struggle to get noticed by the funders who could help them most.
That’s why every one of our programmes is designed to prioritise smaller non-profits. In doing so, we aim to close the funding gap, so support reaches where it has the greatest impact.
Empowering Businesses
Many businesses want to support high-impact charities in their community. But they don’t always have the connections, time, or experience to do it well. That’s where we come in. Our flagship programme, Grants for Good, gives businesses a ready-made way to fund grassroots causes, tailored to their needs. Together, we’re growing a community of like-minded corporate funders, all working to amplify the reach of small charities.
