Our services

The foundation can provide full support to create your community programme, helping you to establish objectives and parameters.

We can do this directly with your community and public relations employees, or perhaps with a cross-business employee panel. We can also support the formation of a panel and provide training for their role. If required, the Foundation can provide a straightforward research report on community issues and funding opportunities in your area.

We offer you transparent, robust and objective grantmaking services:

• Promoting availability – The Foundation can promote your community programme to attract suitable applicants and can also support any internal promotion.
• Handling enquiries – Once charities and community groups are aware of your programme, we can handle all enquiries and correspondence on your behalf.
• Receiving and assessing applications – Our services include collation of applications, eligibility check and then assessment, based on agreed criteria.
• Recommendations - You can see all assessment reports, or a shortlist matching your objectives, and we can provide decision making guidance.
• Informing applicants - After deciding on the projects to support, the Foundation can contact all applicants and manage all grant payments and correspondence.
• Reporting back to - We keep you informed via reports and meetings, as needed. We can also provide ongoing support for an employee panel and project visits.
