The Guide to UK Company Giving 2023/24

How can you maximise your chances of winning corporate support in the UK? You need to know which companies give, why they give, what their criteria are and how to ask in the right way. Offering insight into over 400 companies that collectively contribute around £483 million in the UK in cash donations and in-kind support, The Guide to UK Company Giving helps you to do just that.

It also contains a full description of each company’s community activities and a separate section on more than 150 corporate grant-making charities which together give almost £300 million.

• Corporate social responsibility (CSR) information
• Levels of giving in the UK and whether in cash or in-kind
• Partnerships, including Charity of the Year
• Matched funding and payroll giving
• Pro bono work
