This spring, The Fine & Country Foundation awarded another round of grants to 16 charities working across the UK and overseas in their joint mission to end homelessness and poverty. A total of £31,752 was awarded, bringing the grand total granted to charitable organisations by The Foundation in 2022 to over £87,000.
The Grant Scheme, which is held every spring and autumn, aims to provide financial support to non-profit organisations, specifically focussed around supporting charities fighting against homelessness and poverty. Fine & Country offices around the world are encouraged to submit applications nominating a charity of their choice to receive a donation of up to £3,000. These proposals are then reviewed by The Foundation board and successful projects are awarded with grants. The money presented to these charities will offer them much-needed funds to continue the fundamental work they carry out for their communities.
The Fine & Country network work tirelessly throughout the year to secure donations to be able to support as many charities as possible through the Grant Scheme each year. Many offices and agents have gone above and beyond in their fundraising efforts, taking part in a number of initiatives to collect money for The Foundation, such as Tough Mudders, skydives and the Around the World in 80 Days Challenge. Through their effort and the generous donations received, The Foundation has been able to award £87,000 to charities this year, with the goal being to give away £100,000 during 2022.
Jon Cooke, Trustee of The Foundation, says: “Without the support of the network and the public, The Foundation would not be able to do the work we do. Since its inception, with the help and support of the network, The Foundation has been able to give away hundreds of thousands of pounds to help those in need. We are happy that we were able to support 16 more charities in this latest round of grants, our hope is that grant scheme will continue to make a difference and have a positive impact in many people’s lives.”
