Company giving
Whether you want to make a company donation or get your team fundraising, we’re built to make it easy.
From percentage-of-sales donations to in-office fundraising, we connect companies with 16 small, exceptional charities delivering extraordinary impact for children and young people across the UK. We handle the research, vetting and admin, so you can give with complete confidence and ease.
And because one cause rarely fits a whole team, our portfolio means everyone can find something that matters to them.
For more structured programmes including employee volunteering and ESG-reportable impact, explore a corporate partnership.
Ways your company can give
There are countless ways your company can raise money for Raise Your Hands and the small UK children’s charities we champion. Here are some of the most popular:
Give a percentage
Donate a share of sales, round up transactions at checkout, or commit a set percentage of profits. A simple way to turn everyday business into ongoing support for small UK children’s charities.
In-office fundraising
Bake sales, dress-down days, Christmas jumper days, fancy dress Fridays, sponsored step challenges: informal, social, and a great way to bring teams together around something that matters.
Charity of the Year
Make Raise Your Hands your Charity of the Year. We’ll help with content, impact reporting, and promotional materials — plus shout about your work across our social channels and website.
Payroll giving
Let your team give tax-efficiently straight from their pay or match their contributions pound for pound. Final-hour-of-salary donations are a popular way to get started.
Staff rewards
Use charitable donations as part of staff rewards, recognition, or benefits packages — a meaningful alternative to vouchers, hampers, or small cash incentives.
Fundraising events
Charity auctions, raffles, quiz nights, or company dinners with a cause attached. Organised by your company for your network — we’ll help you plan, promote, and report back on what you raised.
Fundraising challenges
Bike rides, sponsored runs, team sports days, or multi-day treks — taken on by your company, your team, or a group of colleagues up for something ambitious together. We’ll cheer you on.
Charity gifts
Replace client gifts or Christmas cards with donations in your clients’ names. A thoughtful alternative that supports children and young people — and tells your clients what you stand for.
Event partnership
We’ll partner with you on a specific event, product launch, or campaign — bringing our charities, impact reporting, and marketing support to help it land with your audience and employees.
Whichever route feels right, or a blend of several, we’ll build something that fits your company, your team, and what you want to achieve.
Why companies work with us
We’ve already done the due diligence
Every charity in our portfolio has passed a rigorous five-stage assessment covering impact, leadership, governance, finance, and safeguarding — reviewed in detail every year. You don’t need to run your own vetting. We’ve done it for you.
A portfolio with something for everyone
16 charities across multiple causes means you’re not asking a whole company to align behind one issue. From mental health to youth violence, care leavers to conservation — there’s something that lands for everyone.
