Funding Methods and Types
DCF works with you to use your donation via two different methods and across three different fund types, depending on how much you wish to donate.
DCF works with you to use your donation via two different methods and across three different fund types, depending on how much you wish to donate.
Your initial donation is invested by our professional investment managers. The return achieved each year is used to provide funding across Devon, creating a permanent and sustainable source of funding that is vital for the ongoing support of our communities.
Your donation is spent out over a set period of time agreed with you, usually over twelve months. The donation is used to provide immediate funding across Devon.
The collaboration of the Give Love Devon Fund allows us to use all donations, regardless of amount, to provide greater impact and support across Devon.
Donations to this fund can be for any amount and can be either endowed or flow through.
If you want to enter into a larger funding programme, we will invite you to join other like-minded fund holders to contribute to a significant project, pooling the resources of multiple donors to achieve a far greater outcome.
Named Funds can also be used to take on existing charitable trusts or foundations, where the governance or administration is becoming a burden and the existing trustees are finding it a challenge to meet their charitable obligations. DCF is endorsed by the charity commission to complete this, thereby revitalising charitable income for the sector.
Endowed Fund: starts at £100,000 donation
Flow through: starts at £10,000 donation
Bespoke funds are held by donors who wish to make a significant six or seven figure donation. We work together to devise a philanthropic strategy to enable them to achieve their aims of even longer-term, more impactful giving.
