As part of our annual charitable giving, this month we’re donating a total of £100,000 to small charities.
We founded CharityJob back in 2000 with a mission to support the sector, and giving back is one of the ways that we do this. Back in September, we invited members of our sister site, CharityConnect to apply for a share of a £100,000 donation. We opened applications to UK-based charities with 50 or fewer employees and an income of less than £1 million. Like in previous years, we were inundated with an overwhelming number of responses, and a panel of our staff had the exceptionally difficult job of reviewing and shortlisting more than 1,300 applications.
It really wasn’t easy to make the decision, when faced with so many incredibly worthy charities. But, after much discussion, the panel decided to award the ten small charities listed below £10,000 each.
We’re thrilled to be able to support such deserving causes and we want to say a massive thank you to every single one of our clients who has posted an ad with us this year – it’s because of you that we’re able to give back to the sector in this way.
