Matched Giving and Grants
We encourage our people to play an active role in their communities through fundraising and volunteering. Find out more about our schemes below.
For all of our schemes below, you must make your donations to a charity through Charities Trust in order to obtain matched giving. If you are raising funds online please use Sponsor Me. Unfortunately, Royal Mail cannot match funds raised on other online fundraising sites such as JustGiving or GoFundMe.
National Charity Partner Matched Giving
We are delighted that British Heart Foundation has been selected as our national charity partner for 2022-2026. If you are taking on an event during this time to raise funds for BHF then you are eligible for match funding up to £200. To make it simple for you we will automatically apply you match funding if you let the BHF team know you are taking on the event and share with them your fundraising page. Contact them at britishheartfoundation@royalmail.com
