About Us
The Berkeley Foundation is the independent charitable foundation set up by the Berkeley Group in 2011.
We use all our resources to support organisations, young people and communities to have a positive impact in the areas where the Berkeley Group works.
Our work is supported by colleagues across Berkeley Group, who donate, fundraise and volunteer their time in our local communities.
Our People
We are run by a small team of staff and a board of trustees. They receive fantastic support from a group of volunteer Foundation Champions who work for the Berkeley Group.
Testimonials
" The Berkeley Foundation is absolutely committed to supporting young people and communities to thrive. We are focused on investing in our local communities through long-term partnerships with brilliant front-line charities. "
Piers Clanford, Chairman of Berkeley Foundation
How We're Funded
The Berkeley Foundation receives funding from two main sources. Berkeley Group provides 'core funding', pays all of our overheads and covers the cost of specific fundraising events. Berkeley staff do a fantastic job of raising money through fundraising events and our payroll giving scheme.
The Foundation has a match funding scheme to match staff fundraising, volunteering and Give As You Earn for our charity partners. Finally, we occasionally receive external donations.
Transparency is important to us. You can find our audited accounts here.
