Harness your business and its people to drive positive social change
Our Impact Accelerator team – CAF's centre of excellence for impact – is here to help you achieve more with your corporate giving. We align your goals to real needs, working together to create strong social organisations that drive meaningful change for the communities that matter to you.
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to giving with impact. The work we do is bespoke and based on your business’ ambitions. It includes research and analysis, strategic development, tools for measuring and increasing impact, hands-on internal and external engagement, as well as delivery through bespoke grantmaking and social investment programmes.
Working closely with your team, together we'll define the impact you’re aiming for and create a strategy to achieve it. This may involve researching specific causes, engaging stakeholders across your business, suggesting charities, or designing
an impact framework.
We'll work with you to design a grant programme that makes a measurable difference to the communities that matter most to your organisation, using fair, accessible and transparent grantmaking practices.
Amplify the impact of your corporate giving, and support several social organisations by offering the affordable and flexible repayable finance they need to sustain and grow their impact.
Using our Design, Deliver and Learn model, we turn your giving goals into reality.
From defining your values and objectives to developing frameworks to measure impact, we draw on our wealth of experience, sector knowledge and research to design best in class strategies to fulfil that impact.
In collaboration with your team, we provide expert support to deliver programmes that effectively meet your ambitions and impact goals.
Focusing on insight and impact, we capture the social impact of your contributions, sharing learnings and reviews in funder reports to strengthen future activity.

Legal & General’s (L&G) approach to charitable giving has changed during the last few years. The increased spend in this year’s report in part reflects that change in approach, which sees L&G focusing greater resources on fewer strategic initiatives.
Since 2019, Barratt has donated over £3.1m to OB, through Barratt Developments plc and the Barratt Foundation.
