Founded in 2006 by four Hertfordshire Dads who agreed to use their different business skills to benefit charities and schools rather than profits for shareholders. Since then, they’ve grown into a larger team with an excellent mix of skills and a passion for championing the thousands of causes that are part of our “Giving” nation.

Their mission is to build an inclusive community where giving:

• is a lifestyle behaviour choice for supporters, not a financial one.
• enables companies to give back as part of their customer and staff engagement.
• helps charities, schools and other community groups to access new and regular sources of income.

As a charity, their mission is to provide funding opportunities for all good causes to ensure their sustainable future. We support organisations in a few ways:

The Giving Lottery:

An exciting fundraising lottery scheme

• A free and easy way for schools, charities and community groups to raise vital funds.
• Businesses can launch lotteries for their staff and customers to support their chosen good cause.
• Players could win up to £25,000 while supporting causes that matter to them from just £1 a week.

Unrestricted grants:

Each quarter, they have 8 unrestricted grants worth £250 each to give away. Any UK-based good cause with a turnover of less than £1m is eligible to apply.
