Corporate Giving

Businesses across Northern Ireland play a central role in local communities through creating employment, providing services and attracting external investment and trade.

Many businesses are passionate about fulfilling their Corporate Social Responsibilities by giving back into the communities in which they function.

We work with corporate organisations to strengthen communities through directing donations to areas of need and linking businesses into local community projects where they can provide advice and expertise.

As well as raising the profile of your business, working with the Community Foundation, to affect positive change, benefits your employees by developing a greater sense of job satisfaction and providing an opportunity to work for a company that is positively contributing to community development in Northern Ireland.

Setting up a named Corporate fund

Each year businesses are inundated with charitable requests for projects across Northern Ireland and it’s often difficult to make a choice of who to support.

The Community Foundation has been working at the heart of local community issues since 1979 and has an unrivalled depth of acquired knowledge of social issues and the local groups, organisations and charities working in these areas. By setting up a named fund we can act as a conduit by matching your philanthropic interests to the local groups, organisations and charities involved with this work.  

Setting up a named fund allows a business the benefits of a separate charitable trust without the expense, administration and hassle and provides a fantastic opportunity to raise the profile of your business across Northern Ireland. 

"Philanthropy is commendable, but it must not cause the philanthropist to overlook the circumstances of economic injustice which makes philanthropy necessary."
