For personal donations of £5,000 and over, we provide tailored support to help you make an even bigger impact – without the need to set up your own charitable fund.
Setting up a charitable fund with EECF is a straight-forward way to achieve your personal giving goals and a more streamlined alternative to a private foundation. Starting from £20,000, we will establish your bespoke grants programme – tailored to reflect your social values and the priorities you care about most in 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 your capital is invested and the income generated is applied to provide long-term, sustainable support.
Plan a gift in your will to support East London’s future.
Legacy gifts provide vital, lasting support to the East End. Whether it’s a specific amount or a percentage of your estate, legacy giving is a powerful way to create impact beyond your lifetime.
We offer:

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 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.
If you’d like to know more about giving through EECF, creating your own donor advised fund, leaving a legacy, or would just like some advice on where to started, get in touch. We’d love to hear from you.
