LandAid’s Foundation Partner Scheme allows key property industry organisations to become proactively involved in LandAid’s work. It provides an effective mechanism for corporate partners to:
- Demonstrate their active support for LandAid’s work as the property industry charity
- Contribute collectively to maximising the industry’s overall charitable impact through LandAid
- Unite with an influential peer group to help shape LandAid’s future direction and growth
The Foundation Partner Scheme enables LandAid to help more young people, support more dynamic charities, fund more deserving projects. Over time LandAid plans to bring the full resource and expertise of the property industry to bear in supporting the good work of the charity sector.
By investing a proportion of their charitable funds through LandAid, Foundation Partners will also share in the broader benefit of the industry’s collective charitable efforts being seen to be better co-ordinated, more efficient and more effective in achieving a much greater return on charitable investment.
