Corporate Membership
Join us a Corporate Member of Milton Keynes Community Foundation to support key issues in your local community. Together we can make a difference.
Corporate membership with MK Community Foundation allows your company to support thousands of people across Milton Keynes with one donation.
Following on from the shocking statistic in our 2019 Vital Signs research that one in three children in Milton Keynes live in poverty, we have decided to make it a key focus point for this year and have started a Child Poverty fund. With the money you donate as a Corporate Member we will be able to support child poverty projects across Milton Keynes. With the COVID-19 situation, this statistic is likely to get worse, so now it’s more important than ever to come together as a community and help those in need.
The amount you donate as a Corporate Member is up to you, but there is a minimum amount per company based on your organisation size. Remember, for anything you donate above the minimum you will be able to claim tax relief, and the more you donate, the more we will be able to do to tackle child poverty in Milton Keynes. The minimum amounts are:
1-20 employees £250 per year
21-99 employees £500 per year
Over 100 employees £1,000 per year
The other option is to set up a Named Corporate Fund for a minimum of £10,000 per year. When you set up a Named Corporate Fund, you can decide what type of projects, or what issues you’d like your fund to go towards. So if your company wants to help tackle homelessness, has an interest in mental health or crime and safety, you can tailor your fund to those areas. Please contact the Philanthropy team if you’d like to discuss setting up a Named Fund.
