The Benefits of supporting the Drake Foundation

Matched funding. Through the Grassroots scheme your donations will be matched £1 for £1 with government funding. With Gift Aid and matched funding a £100 donation is worth over £250 to the fund. 

 Our charity has no management costs, every penny received goes to worthy causes in our community. 

 Donations we receive are helping to build an endowment fund to provide long lasting support to hundreds of voluntary groups and charities in our community. A single donation will help support many causes for many years.

 Helps you to support and invest in your local community - all money raised stays in our community and benefits local people.

 A cost effective solution to help you achieve your Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) objectives.

 With a named fund you can influence where the money is spent.

 Support for you to manage requests you may receive from charities.
