Working with Islington Giving is a way for your business to partner with local people, grassroots organisations and investors to create meaningful, visible change on your doorstep. If you want to find out more about joining forces to drive positive social impact in Islington, get in touch!
Islington Giving is a movement where businesses and residents join forces for lasting mutual benefit. We raise money, share ideas and work with local people to decide how resources should be used.
Working with our partners over the past 15 plus years, we have developed innovative approaches that respond directly to local need. This includes leveraging corporate volunteering via The BIG Alliance, bringing community-led initiatives to life through the Make it Happen fund, and developing an ecosystem of food provision to respond to growing food poverty in the borough.

Using our deep knowledge of Islington, we can connect your social value, CSR and ESG objectives with areas of unmet need, bringing you closer to the issues you care about and driving meaningful, long-term impact.
“We’re thrilled to work with Islington Giving and support the incredible impact they have in the borough. Their focus on community-led initiatives and understanding of local challenges inspire us to deepen our own commitment, amplify what we can achieve together, and meet local needs.” Anne Kuenning, Assistant Vice President, Endurance Land.
We work with a range of partners – from local Islington businesses to global corporate partners. Together, we raise funds, support communities and projects, share local knowledge, and create access to opportunities for local people.
These stories of success show what we can achieve when we work together, combining funding, local knowledge and the expertise of community organisations to respond to what people in Islington need.
