Thank you for joining our Heart Campaign...
We are delighted by the response to this year's campaign. Our total so far has reached almost £7,000.
It has been very encouraging to see how everyone has taken time, imagination and effort to show their support for the city. We extend grateful thanks to all of you.
Here's how you did it!
The campaign got off to a great start with the Ultimate Beatles Benefit Gig on Jan 31st, and our collections at the MK Dons, MK Lions and thecentre:mk were generously supported. Combined with donations from groups and individuals who have formed hearts this year, this collective effort has helped us improve on last year's camapign by almost £3,000.
The Open University gathered outdoors to form a giant heart (right), this is definitely the biggest heart we have received this year. You can see more of this year's entries on our Heart Page.
Every £1 donated to the campaign is matched by the government (see the calculator below). Donate
You can form a heart in whichever way you choose, photograph or film it, and email it to us with a donation to the campaign. Please email to take part at info@mkcommunityfoundation.co.uk or download this registration form
There are no rules about the way you create your heart. Take as long as you like, have fun, it's your heart and it's entirely up to you.
Please remember to download and fill in the Gift Aid form, and return it with your heart photos. That way, we will be able to claim the tax back on your donation and ensure that we receive the maximum benifit from every pound we receive.
--------------
The Heart Camapign is part of the Foundation's 3 year government programme for Milton Keynes called the Grassroots Grants Endowment Challenge. It's aim is to generate long-term funds for grass-roots activities in the local community.
Grassroots Grants: The Power to make lasting change
Between now and 2011 we are aiming to raise a £1million fund for the city through this programme. This is a very local campaign which relies entirely on the support of the local people who care about Milton Keynes. Your gift, big or small, will enable us to raise this fund.
All donations received will be matched by the treasury £1 for £1. Use the calculator to see how the value of your donation will be enhanced:
