HOW CAN YOU SUPPORT THE KENT FOUNDATION?

DONATE

ll of the support we provide to our young entrepreneurs is completely free! That means to sustain the services we rely on donations.

FUNDRAISING

If you don't have the funds to donate, that doesn't mean you can't help. Fundraising is a great way to help us raise the money we need to continue providing our services.

SPONSORSHIPS

We run multiple events across the year and each come with sponsorship opportunities. This will not only support our young entrepreneurs but also comes with exposure for your business.

VOLUNTEERING

A big part of how we manage to support young entrepreneurs is through volunteering. We have multiple ways a volunteer can help us grow and support more young entrepreneurs.

DONATE

Many people rely upon their families and friends when starting a business. Some of our beneficiaries have amazing business ideas, but lack support networks, or they may have started their business at a time of becoming a parent or navigating ill-health or unemployment. These groups need more support and your contribution can lead to an idea turning into an income.

FUNDRAISING

If you’re unable to donate yourself, fundraising is a great way to help the charity grow and reach more young entrepreneurs to support.

We’re open to creative ways of fundraising for the charity so please feel free to get in contact with us if you have any ideas.

SPONSORSHIP

Across the year we host multiple events from our awards night, to our business festival. Each of these events have opportunities to sponsor. 

Each business we support costs the charity approximately £1,000. That means the more money we raise, the more entrepreneurs we can support.
