Our Partnerships & Programmes
Our charity partners are at the heart of everything we do.
Whether national or local, our partnerships are instrumental to the difference we're able make within our communities. Our partnership selection is determined through the voting of Zurich UK employee supporters and donors. They have the opportunity to vote for both the communities and the causes they wish to support. Please note: We do not accept any grant funding applications via email or otherwise, outside of our internal partnership selection process. However, there are other avenues of support available through other organisations, and we wish you luck with your search for funding.
Our current partnerships were selected in 2022 and initially granted funding over two years. Earlier this year, we were delighted to offer them an extension to the end of 2025, giving them access to further funding over two years.
Why our partnerships stand out
