For Individuals - Raise Your Hands | Supporting Small Charities

Giving for Independent Thinkers

We have developed a fresh approach to philanthropy – one for people who want to leave a positive mark on the world and recognise the need for expertise to find the best.

Give with confidence

Broad portfolio

It can be hard to prioritise where your charitable support goes. We bring together charities that work across a wide range of causes, in different parts of the UK. One donation can then have a broad impact.

They’re the experts

For charities to join our platform, we need to be sure they’re good. We need to buy into the strategic direction of the charity. We then help them to get on with it. Our donations are unrestricted so that charities don’t have to shape their work to meet donor priorities.

No profit

We’re a registered charity ourselves. We fundraise for our own running costs from generous patrons so we are able to pass on all other donations.

In for the long-haul

So long as they meet our criteria, we fund charities in perpetuity. When a charity outgrows us, we count it as a win. We have several charities that have since passed our £2m turnover criteria and reached ‘graduate’ status. You can read about them here.
