Why donate funds to VPF
- You will have peace of mind that your donation will be going to exceptional charities with proven social impact: the top 10% of any due diligence cycle performed by VPF.
- You will know that your donation is going to charities that are tackling the root causes of some of the major problems facing our world.
- You will be able to meet the leaders of these charities, to see their work, and to ask them difficult questions. VPF will provide ongoing monitoring of your financial contribution.
- Your money goes much, much further: for every £1 of funds donated, VPF adds an equivalent £1 in pro-bono support.
- Your individual contribution will be aggregated thus increasing the efficiency of the charitable sector, which spends too much time fundraising from multiple, fragmented sources.
- You will be supporting an important and innovative concept in the UK charitable giving landscape.
