National Funding Scheme

Launched in spring 2013 across a range of significant national and regional cultural institutions The National Funding Scheme (charity no. 1149800) runs and administers DONATE; a national donation platform through mobile devices. It provides a means for visitors to give a flexible amount to specific causes based on a variety of payment methods (credit card/text/apps/micro bill payments etc).
The charity is governed by an independent board of trustees made up of high profile individuals from across the Arts commercial and cultural sectors.

Why are we exciting?

The National Funding Scheme (registered charity 1149800) has been funded by Arts Council England, Nesta, Garfield Weston, Paul Hamlyn Foundation and many others to provide a national solution to giving to specific cultural causes through digital devices. With Baroness Lane Fox, Dame Fional Reynolds, and Lord Smith as patrons we are surrounded by individuals who believe passionately in our arts, digital transformation and culture. 

We have a fast-moving, entrepreneurial attitude to our work backed by an inspriational team. We'd love you to join us.
