Agents Giving has launched a fund to help towards the set-up costs of fundraising events.

Grant requests should be made in advance of your fundraising event and Agents Giving will also help with the promotion of your event.

Many agents and their supported charities have already benefited from the fund, such as Chris Labram of Yopa, pictured below, who is trekking to Mount Everest base camp for Macmillan Cancer Care. The fund helped towards Chris’ registration fee.

Yorkshire’s Finest Estate Agents, as seen in the image below, are hosting a charity ball also raising funds for Macmillan and the Agents Giving grant fund helped towards the venue booking.

Paul Bampton of Sansome & George will be running the London Marathon this April for Centre Point with the fund helping towards Paul’s training equipment.

Peter Knight, chairman of Agents Giving, said: “The Agents Giving grant fund is now helping agents with their event set-up costs, meaning that more of the money raised at your event goes directly to your chosen charity.

“Get in touch to see how we can help you, so you can raise even more money for the charities and causes you support.”

Any requests should be made via a registration form on the Agents Giving website: http://agentsgiving.org/the-agents-giving-grant-fund.

To apply for a grant you must be fundraising for UK registered charities and the registration number will be requested when applying.
