Becoming a Member

You will become a member of the Foundation by making an annual donation. Your membership enables us to forward plan our grant-making programme and in many cases, you can specify how your money is spent. 

Flexible Giving Options 

Each year our members are invited to choose how they would like their donation to be allocated. Your donation can go to the overall grant making fund that supports a broad range of projects on both a large and small scale. Alternatively, you can generate a Named Fund in your own name (if you choose) and give to the causes you care about most.

Whichever way you choose to support us, we target the money you give, to the projects that need it most. You can be assured, your donation will enhance the lives of people who live here both today and in the future.
