Bring Your Philanthropic Ambitions to Life
Everyone in their lifetime, will use the services of a grassroots charity or know someone who does. We believe everyone should support their local communities.
Every business is different, and your approach to giving back should reflect that.
Corporate social responsibility has the power to do far more than demonstrate your values. Done well, it can engage your employees, strengthen your connection to the communities around you and provide vital, sustainable support to grassroots charities.
But turning good intentions into genuine, lasting impact takes time, knowledge and the right connections.
That’s where Focus Foundation comes in.
We work alongside businesses to turn philanthropic ambitions into meaningful action, connecting you with trusted grassroots charities, community needs and opportunities where your support can make a tangible difference.
Whether you’re developing your approach for the first time or looking to strengthen an established philanthropy strategy, we’ll meet you where you are and help you build a partnership that can evolve alongside your business.
Why Work With Focus Foundation?
You get to know your business. We know grassroots charities and the communities they serve. Bring the two together, and your philanthropic CSR has the potential to go further.
We have created the Champions of Change program, which simply allows you to make a regular donation and join a group of businesses that share our belief in the power of grassroots charities and want to play an active role in helping them thrive.
