Why Choose Fundbuilder?
Philanthropy doesn’t have to begin with a big donation. Fundbuilder makes it easy to start small and grow your giving over time.
Start small, think big – Give monthly, annually, or through fundraising at a pace that suits you.
Grow faster – Your contributions are pooled and invested with others, generating stronger returns and supporting local charities right away.
See impact now – Around 5% of the pooled fund is awarded as grants each year, so your giving makes a difference today while your fund builds for tomorrow.
Generosity goes further – turning regular small donations into a sustainable, reliable source of funding for local charities, creating a lasting difference in Essex.
Build a legacy – When your fund reaches £25,000, it can become a standalone fund under your name, supporting the causes you care about most. (one fundbuilder has already been able to build their own stand alone fund.)
