Law firm Brabners has announced the launch of a grant-making foundation to support charities and non-profits.
The Brabners Foundation will focus on supporting community organisations and other charities through corporate fundraising. Run entirely by Brabners’ employees, it will twice a year provide a series of individual grants of up to £5,000 for specific projects and initiatives. Five organisations have already been confirmed as beneficiaries of the first round of funding this autumn: they include the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital, bereavement charity Sunflowers and Liverpool Cares, an organisation working to loneliness and isolation in the community.
Robert White (pictured), chief executive at Brabners and chair of The Brabners Foundation, said: ‘Brabners has a long and successful history of charitable giving and the level of fundraising has more than doubled in the last 12 months.
‘The launch of The Brabners Foundation means that, alongside that increase, we will now have even more flexibility to support a much wider range of charities that are close to our people’s hearts. We’ve raised more than a quarter of a million pounds in the last decade but we know we can do more in the future.
‘We look forward to turning that ambition into reality with the support of our people, our clients and our wider community.’
