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 £442 million in the UK in cash donations and in-kind support, The Guide to UK Company Giving helps you to do just that.

What does it cover?

The guide includes details on companies’ giving strategies and advice on how to identify those companies most likely to support your organisation. It also contains a full description of each company’s community activities and a separate section on around 160 corporate grant-making charities which together give almost £260 million. Each entry includes an at-a-glance profile, outlining:

• 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
• Commercially led support, including sponsorship
