How to get involved
1. Give
Donations of all levels to the Fund are gratefully received. Anyone who pledges to give or raise at least £1,000 by the end of 2025 will be recognised as a member of our North East Roots Founder’s Club. Every donation will be split 50/50 between endowment (invested to produce funds for grants in perpetuity) and funding for immediate grants, meaning we can build lasting impact while also addressing community needs right away.
2. Join
The North East Roots Fund is a network like no others. Sign up for updates on the Fund and our future events, and stay in touch with others who share your passion for giving back to the North East. Contact John Hollingsworth, Chief Philanthropy and Development Officer using the contact form at the bottom of the page, and follow the Community Foundation on LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram for updates.
