Local businesses have played an important role in our success and are a valued element of the partnership that makes IDCF so unique.

As a company there are many ways that you can get involved and a significant number of you will have your own grant making budget. However tackling deprivation is complex and it is only by working together that we have made and will continue to make an impact.

IDCF distributed approximately £1.2m each year and demand far outweighs the resources we have available, so financial support is always an area where were need support.

At IDCF donors always have a say in how their donation is managed:

Unrestricted - This allows IDCF to focus your funding in areas where there is the most pressing need.

Restricted - Support one of IDCF's key priority themes (Education, Employment, Community Development).

Named Fund - Establish a named fund with your own criteria.

With a wealth of experience in grant making and programme management IDCF is able to advise and guide donors on the most appropriate and effective ways to distribute their resources to ensure maximum impact.

Whatever the preferred way of giving IDCF will manage the donation as well as monitor and evaluate each award so that funders have peace of mind.  

One of the easiest ways to get involved with IDCF is to become a Member, so why not join us today.

Here's what some of our current supporters have to say:

"We at Morgan Stanley support the IDCF because we feel a strong connection with, and obligation to, our local community. The opportunity for active involvement with the IDCF provides us with the means of engaging with those organisations that are providing a benefit to the local people."
