In the long term, CEBF will raise most of its funds from donations made by charity workers through payroll giving schemes: that is how most benevolent funds grow.
To get started, though, we need to persuade a critical mass of charities to set up those schemes. To do that, CEBF needs a full-time fundraiser. Our immediate aim, therefore, is to raise £100,000 within the next six months - enough to employ a fundraiser, a part-time assistant and to begin to offer financial assistance. To that end, we are asking the UK's largest 20 charities to make a one-off pledge of £5,000 each to CEBF, but we won't ask any charity to convert its pledge into cash until we have enough on board to make the fund operational.
We are also approaching grant-giving trusts, corporations and private sector firms and we urge all CEBF’s prospective FOUNDERS who are thinking: “What a good idea! Why wasn’t there a Benevolent Fund for Charity Employees before?” to contact us.
The list below shows those already backing CEBF and those still deciding.
