We can help you to set up your own fund at the Foundation, either now or through a legacy after your death.
A fund, established in the name of your choice, is a powerful way of serving communities for generations to come.
Funds at the Foundation are easy to set up and very cost effective. They allow you to support the areas and issues you care most about. You, with advice from our experts, decide what sort of projects will be funded.
The minimum practical size for a fund is £25,000, but contributions to a fund can be built over time.
Some people choose to manage all or most of their charitable giving through a fund at the Foundation.
There are permanent named funds such as the HSBC Fund, Viscount Whitelaw and Laing plc funds or donor directed funds such as the CN Group Fund. We also run themed funds which cover a particular geographic area and/or field of interest such as the Barrow Community Trust or the two Kipling Funds. If you are thinking of setting up a fund, the list may give you ideas about how a fund can be tailored to your interests.
