Corporate giving

At EECF, we help you make the most of your charitable giving by aligning your objectives with the social needs and priorities of the East End. With over 35 years of experience and a deep-rooted presence in the community, we have built trusted relationships with local charitable organisations and a strong understanding of the area’s most pressing challenges. This local insight enables us to direct support where it is needed most, ensuring your giving is both meaningful and effective.

By partnering with EECF, your company can choose to set up its own named charitable fund, tailored to your priorities and managed by our expert team, or join our collective giving fund, the Life Chances Campaign, which brings together local businesses to tackle key issues facing communities in the East End. Whether you are looking to make a long-term commitment or support a specific cause, we offer a range of tax-effective giving options designed to deliver measurable and lasting social impact.

Set Up Your Charitable Fund

Setting up a charitable fund with EECF is a straightforward and effective way to meet your company’s giving objectives. We will establish your own bespoke grants programme, to align with both your corporate values and the social priorities of the East End.

You can choose to operate your fund as a flow-through fund, where you set an annual budget and top it up each year, or as an endowment, where capital is invested and the income generated is used to provide sustainable support for now and for the future.

Join a Collective Giving Fund

Become part of the Life Chances Campaign and help create meaningful, lasting change in the community where your business operates.

By supporting this initiative, your company will be working in partnership with EECF and other leading corporates from the City of London and Canary Wharf, pooling our collective resources to address social inequality across the East End.

Together, we aim to raise £4 million over the next three years to improve the life chances of local residents experiencing hardship by addressing:

Fundraise for us

There are many ways your company and employees can support our work – from community events to sponsored challenges and more.

Taking part in the London Marathon on behalf of EECF is a powerful way to give back while testing your team’s physical and mental resilience. With a route that runs through the heart of the East End, it’s a meaningful way to raise both awareness and funds for the causes we champion, while demonstrating your company’s dedication, endurance, and commitment to social responsibility.

If you’re interested in other challenge events, fundraising opportunities, or have ideas of your own, we’d love to hear from you. We can support you in planning and setting up an activity that aligns with your goals and interests.
