Accelerating progress towards a fair and sustainable future
Since our founding almost 100 years ago, Charities Aid Foundation has worked to connect and enable the organisations, institutions and individuals looking to make a difference in the world. This lies at the core of what we do, who we work with and how we act each and every day.
Our commitment to the charities and donors that we serve is rooted in the reason we exist: to accelerate progress in society towards a fair and sustainable future for all.
That sustainable future is one in which we, as an organisation, play our role to the greatest extent possible. We help charities across the globe to grow, we achieve maximum impact for donors with every penny, pound or dollar donated through our charity, and we ensure the people who choose to be part of our team have a safe and supportive place to work. Last year, the combined impact of our work meant CAF was able to distribute more than £950 million to charities and partners in 135 countries.
That is just the beginning of our story.
When we speak of sustainability, as an organisation our work is reflected in the principles of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) and our commitment to the charities and donors that we serve. This includes our determination to look inward, improve how we operate as an organisation and ensure that Charities Aid Foundation stays true to our guiding values to act with integrity, move forward together and shape the changed world that we all want to see.
As part of that commitment, we have recently launched an ESG investment fund range which is designed specifically to meet the needs of charities and charitable investors.
