Helping local charities and community groups to fundraise online and build a sustainable future
Our mission is to strengthen UK communities by safeguarding the sustainability of the local voluntary sector. We support local charitable organisations to diversify their income through online fundraising. We provide tools, training and advice to help groups connect with supporters online, improve their digital skills and develop practical fundraising experience. We also advocate for the sector and work to raise awareness and support for local groups from the public, government and businesses.
Why the community needs usLocal charities provide social support and front-line services that improve and enrich the lives of millions of people on a daily basis. Accessing the funding required to sustain their work can present a major challenge. For these groups, the provision of core services must take priority, leaving limited resource to dedicate to fundraising. Localgiving exists to help alleviate this problem by providing a simple and sustainable online fundraising solution that is both time and cost-effective.
Our impact on the communityLocalgiving is a charity, registered with the Charity Commission as the Localgiving Foundation. Like many of the thousands of groups we work with, we are also working towards sustainability. By diversifying our income sources to include earned income, grants and generous donations from philanthropists, corporates and other funders, our hope is that we can continue to serve the local voluntary sector long into the future.
