A new way for businesses to support charities and drive lasting impact
At Investors in Community, we know businesses want to make a real difference but traditional corporate giving often stops with donations and volunteer days. What if businesses could help charities grow stronger, more sustainable, and more impactful in the long run?
That’s exactly what the Transformation & Charity Support Programme is designed to do. By providing coaching, strategic support, and measurable impact reporting, IIC is taking corporate social responsibility (CSR) to a new level that creates lasting change for charities, businesses, and communities.
Why this programme? Why now?
Many charities operate on shoestring budgets, relying heavily on fundraising, donations, and volunteer support and without the right strategic foundations, long-term growth can be difficult. At the same time, businesses want to invest in communities in ways that align with their values, but they often struggle to see the direct impact of their contributions.
This programme, led by expert coaches Jo Thackwray & Lyn Page, bridges that gap. By working through the IIC platform businesses can now invest in charities in a structured way, ensuring their contributions result in real, measurable, and sustainable change.
How does this programme help charities thrive?
Charities taking part in the Transformation & Charity Support Programme receive structured, expert-led support to help them grow, increase their impact, and plan for long-term sustainability.
Through six interactive sessions, charities get practical guidance on defining their mission, measuring impact and demonstrating the value of their work. Leadership and people management are key areas of focus, helping charities build a strong team culture, improve volunteer engagement, and reduce the risk of burnout.
Charities also gain essential financial skills, learning how to budget, develop fundraising strategies, and plan for sustainable growth. This gives them the confidence to secure funding and manage their resources effectively.
The programme helps charities think beyond the day-to-day, with strategies to scale, diversify income, and build long-term resilience. By the final session, each organisation leaves with a clear, practical roadmap for growth, ensuring they can continue making a lasting impact in their communities.
A smarter way for businesses to make a real impact
Businesses want to make a real impact, but finding the right approach can be challenging. This programme provides a structured way for businesses to contribute meaningfully, with measurable results that drive lasting change.
Businesses using the IIC platform can make a measurable difference by supporting a charity’s long-term growth. They’ll receive:
✅ Impact reports that clearly show how their contributions are making a difference.
✅ Stronger connections with charities, building meaningful, long-term partnerships.
✅ Full visibility of CSR efforts, aligning with ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) goals.
✅ Employee engagement opportunities, allowing staff to contribute in a way that delivers real results.
This programme helps businesses move from short-term giving to lasting change, creating real benefits for companies and communities.
