Launched in 2015 by DWF, the Foundation continues to be a central pillar of the business' commitment to responsible business.
Over the past decade, the Foundation has remained dedicated to its core aim: providing funds, resources and mentoring to help individuals, groups and communities achieve their full potential. It supports charities in locations where DWF operates and focuses on delivering meaningful, long-term impact.
The DWF Foundation supports registered charities working in one or more of its five priority areas: Homelessness and Poverty; Health and Wellbeing; Employability; Education; and Environment and Sustainability.
In reaching the £1.5m milestone, the Foundation has supported more than 700 charities and food banks worldwide, creating opportunities for people to believe, inspire and change.
Colleagues across DWF play a central role in the Foundation’s success, taking part in fundraising, volunteering, team challenges, mentoring and a wide range of initiatives to support local communities.
A significant milestone in its journey came in 2019 when DWF partners gifted 1.8 million shares as part of the Group’s listing on the London Stock Exchange, which significantly strengthened the Foundation’s long-term ability to support charities around the world.
Clare Beavan, Community Investment Manager at DWF, said: "Reaching our 10th anniversary and surpassing £1.5 million in donations is an incredible milestone. I’m immensely proud of what we have achieved together and of the hundreds of organisations we’ve been able to support around the world. The commitment of our colleagues has been extraordinary, and their generosity continues to inspire me. I look forward to the next decade and to building on this foundation to deliver even greater impact in our communities."
Jim Davies OBE, founder patron of the DWF Foundation, said: "When we established the DWF Foundation in 2015, our aim was to create a lasting, positive impact for the communities connected to DWF. A decade later, having donated more than £1.5 million and supported over 700 charities worldwide, I could not be prouder. Thank you to all DWF colleagues for their generosity and continued support. Here's to the next decade of helping our global communities!"
Matthew Doughty, Group CEO, added: “Celebrating a decade of the DWF Foundation, surpassing £1.5 million in donations and supporting more than 700 organisations worldwide is a remarkable achievement and a testament to the commitment of our colleagues.
“At DWF, our purpose is to deliver positive outcomes with our colleagues, clients and communities. The Foundation is a great example of how we achieve exactly that – as colleagues we collaborate with one another, and often with our clients, to raise funds for the Foundation, which provides grants to support charities in the local communities in which we do business. This is a great way for us to give back - supporting those who need help and delivering meaningful, lasting impact. I’m incredibly proud of our business and what has been achieved over the past decade. As we look to the next chapter, we remain committed to building a more inclusive and sustainable future for the communities we serve.”
