The Equity Foundation connects donors and supporters with local causes to help customers to feel proud to call their community home. 
The model of community investment is different. The Equity Foundation believes that great ideas already exist within communities, and by sharing commitment and resources The Equity Foundation know that they can achieve far more than if they worked in isolation.
The Equity Foundation works in two ways; providing awards to community groups through a grants programme and supporting corporate partners to invest in grassroots projects they otherwise wouldn't be able to reach.
The Equity Foundation currently offers three funding streams:
Equity Together Fund - Awards of up to £2,500. Exclusively for Equity customers and their families who want funding for projects they'd like to set up or are already involved with.
Improving Lives Fund - Awards of up to £2,500. Open for applications from community groups, charities or social enterprises delivering projects or services that directly support Equity customers and their families around our key themes. The wider community can be involved, but the primary focus should be on Equity customers.
Community awards - Local community projects that target their key themes. Consideration should be given to how Equity customers could also benefit.
