At Hackney Giving, we have a long track record of ensuring donations make a real difference to local communities.
The cost of living crisis has hit many families hard and Hackney Giving has provided support during these challenging times. Donations help fund essential services and programmes. Whether it’s foodbanks, mental health support or educational programmes, your contribution helps address these urgent needs.
Hackney Giving is dedicated to funding grassroots community groups that work to improve the lives of local residents. These groups often operate on limited budgets and by donating to Hackney Giving, you are directly contributing to initiatives that address issues such as social isolation, health and wellbeing and crisis support.
City and Hackney are known for their rich diversity and Hackney Giving ensures that its grants are distributed in the fairest possible way. This means funding a wide range of communities and groups, reflecting our mission to work for a fairer society.
Since April 2020, Hackney Giving has distributed over £2.7 million to the voluntary and community sector. This funding has supported 170 community organisations through 362 grants. The impact of these grants can be huge – ranging from providing emergency relief during the pandemic to supporting activities that bring people together and strengthen communities.
By donating, you become part of this positive change, making a tangible difference. Community events, workshops and support groups funded by Hackney Giving create opportunities for residents to connect, share experiences, and build lasting relationships. These activities promote a sense of belonging and community spirit, which is invaluable in today’s world.
Hackney Giving is a responsible and trusted grantmaker with a proven track record. We operate with transparency, ensuring that all funds are used effectively to benefit the community. Donors can have confidence that their contributions are making a real difference and are managed with integrity.
Your donation, no matter the size, can have a significant impact on the lives of Hackney residents.
Your donations help create a fairer, more resilient and connected City and Hackney.
