Business for Good Fund

Bringing businesses together to drive real change across Herefordshire.

Business Giving Made Easy

Proud to support the Community Chest Programme.

Introducing a new way for businesses to manage their charitable giving and make a difference across the county.

What’s the idea?

The idea is simple. Each participating business gives £10 per member of staff each year to the Business for Good Fund.

By collectively donating, the business community will create a valuable fund to support good causes across the county.

Herefordshire Community Foundation manages the Fund on behalf of participating businesses. We take care of the administration and make sure grants reach local organisations.

We will keep you updated on the work the Fund is helping to support. Businesses that want a closer connection have opportunities to join the grants award decision-making panel.

Who can join?

The Fund is open to Herefordshire businesses of all sizes, from sole traders and small firms to larger corporations.

I care about helping real people, not just ticking boxes. At first, £10 didn’t feel like much, it’s just me, after all, but I quickly realised that’s exactly the point. When we all chip in, it adds up. Business for Good felt like the right way to give: local, simple, meaningful.
