We believe that local is better. Every single day we are helping thousands of UK community groups do amazing things. Since 2009 we have distributed £40M in online donations, with £5M in match funding given to over 4,000 local organisations.
The demand for grant funding in the UK’s third sector has never been greater.
Giving by all UK foundations is worth over £8bn per year across multiple sectors and causes. Today’s changemakers need access to simple, streamlined, efficient and measurable funding process, and that's what we deliver.
Every single day members of the Localgiving community do amazing things to support the local causes they love. From walks, runs, swims and climbs to restorations, builds, investments and concerts to name just a few of the many activities that take place to raise those crucial funds. Here are some local press stories about them.
We know that for grassroots organisations building a strong organisation and raising money for the causes you love can be a challenge. The team at Localgiving are proud to bring you a series of articles and guides to help you maximise the support for your team, recipients and wider community.
