1% Matters Fund TM
Many people can afford to give 1% of their salary, their company profits or dividends, and every penny matters to local charities. That’s why David Ryley, a successful businessman in Nottingham, set up a company fund with the support of Forever Notts called the
1% Matters Fund.
Working with Forever Notts, he used 1% of his profits to establish the charity fund with the aim of growing it across his network. The Fund now has many regular donors as many people recognise the economic and ethical value of keeping charitable giving 100% local.
Whilst we know many people give generously to charity, many would like to give to more local projects, if they knew which ones to give to and if they knew the groups are carefully checked and the spend monitored. And this is where Forever Notts comes in. Our expert and robust grants assessment service ensures monies are awarded to projects that are viable and where there is a genuine local need. Our end of grant monitoring enables us to check financial spend and feed back to donors on the impact that their generosity has had in their local communities.
So far, 1% Matters™ Notts has distributed more than £25,000 of grants, supporting a wide range of groups and projects across the city and county.
