Philanthropy and major donors

We count donations of £1,000 or more in a single year as major giving. These gifts play a vital role in helping us reach more families, provide essential grants and services, and raise families’ voices to advocate for change.

If you’re considering making a major gift, our Philanthropy Team would be delighted to talk with you about how your support could make a lasting, meaningful difference.

How your support makes a difference

Every day, your generosity helps families through some of the most challenging moments of their lives.

• £1,000 could help fund our helpline advisers, who guide families to vital support and ensure no one feels alone.
• £10,000 could provide 25 families with essential grant items – such as warm winter clothing, an oven to prepare hot meals, or a comfortable bed to help a child get the good night’s sleep they deserve.
• £100,000 could establish a bespoke grant programme or service, shaped around the areas you’re most passionate about and helping families access the support they need most.

Join our community

We understand that giving is personal. Whether you’re an individual, family or foundation, our experienced Philanthropy Team can offer advice and guidance tailored to you.

As a valued supporter, you can expect:

• A dedicated relationship manager to help align your giving with the causes and priorities you care about most
• Advice on tax-effective ways to maximise your impact, including gifts through Donor Advised Funds
• Regular reports and personalised updates showing the difference your support is making
• Invitations to exclusive events and opportunities to connect with others who share your passion

Your impact

Through supporting specific programmes, piloting new approaches, or directing your gift to areas of greatest need, your generosity can reach even more families and create real, lasting change.

“Family Fund has supported us in so many ways. They gave us a grant towards hospital costs and food, which was so helpful at a time that was so traumatic. Then a further grant for outdoor play equipment, giving the kids somewhere to play together — which has especially helped Jacob, who I worried about missing out while his sisters were in hospital.”

Supporting Family Fund through a Donor Advised Fund

Family Fund works with Donor Advised Funds to help reach more families facing financial hardship, deliver essential grants, and unlock opportunities that many others take for granted.
