For Funders | Localgiving

“Through the Community Matters Fund we were able to help families on low-income, where previously we have only supported at-risk individuals facing homelessness. We are hugely appreciative of the support from National Grid and Localgiving."

A complete suite of solutions

We know that the grantmaking journey can be difficult; from finding worthy applicants to securely distributing funds. Whether you’re missing just one piece of the puzzle or want to collaborate on the whole process, we’re here to help.

Due Diligence & applicant sourcing

We have 10+ years experience finding great applicants - from within our community and outside. Our independent due diligence process has been reviewed by HMRC and PWC, so you can be confident that every applicant is worthy.

Applications & scoring

We will collaborate to create a tailored application experience with a fair and transparent scoring process to give you confidence that the causes you fund reflect your values.

Grant operations

We can handle as little or as much as you need; from our community team replying to applicant queries, managing all your operational comms, to securely distributing traditional and matched funds. We’ve got you covered.

CSR, Marketing & PR

We’ll share your grant directly with our engaged community and can target any relevant groups in the UK third sector through eMarketing, content, and social media and PR. We can align monitoring, reporting, and measurement directly with post-grant PR.

Charity Times awards recognise National Grid for community support

"We are over the moon to have won a Charity Times Award, particularly given the very high calibre of projects in our category and across the night as a whole – it was a privilege to be among such wonderful causes and organisations."

A truly collaborative approach

Over the last decade we have supported thousands of local charities and community groups across the UK to diversify their income and develop their online fundraising and marketing skills. Much of this success was achieved through our close collaborative work with philanthropists, businesses, government and key sector partners. We are always looking for new opportunities to support our members and always happy to discuss new ideas.

"If we had not secured this fund we would have had no choice but to cut heating times, and increase the service charge for the residents who are already struggling to make ends meet. This funding has come at a significant time. Thank you National Grid!"
