I can think of no better way, effortlessly and with confidence, to support local good causes than through Norfolk Community Foundation.
Paul Morgan,
Philanthropist and Founder Benefactor
Norfolk 100
The Norfolk 100 aims to bring together one hundred of Norfolk’s leaders and opinion formers, to collectively support the small, grassroots community organisations that work hard to improve the quality of life for people across the County.
We are asking those who care about Norfolk to commit to making a donation of £1,000 per annum for 3 years. Achieving 100 members will generate:
- £50,000 per annum to be used immediately for grants to support local needs
- £50,000 per annum to be invested, with the income to be used to make grants in perpetuity
- £28,000 per annum from the Gift Aid reclaimed from inland revenue to support the development of Norfolk Community Foundation
We ask those that wish to support the Norfolk 100 through their business or their CAF account to increase their donation to £1,280 per annum as we are unable to claim gift aid on business donations or CAF payments.
Members are regularly updated on the difference their donation is making to voluntary and community groups across Norfolk.
To become a member, or for more information, telephone 01603 623958
The Norfolk 100 Grant Award decisions are made at the quarterly CIC panel meetings along side the Love Norfolk Fund Grants.
