Major gifts

Here at Concern we appreciate every donation. However, by making a major gift of £1,000 or more, you have the opportunity to make an even greater and lasting impact on the lives of the poorest and most vulnerable people living in the most fragile places in the world.

Major gifts can be used to fund a specific project for a limited period, but are also crucial in helping us to plan ahead and be prepared for emergencies. We aim to build meaningful, long-term relationships with our supporters who help us achieve significant and transformational change.

Concern will use it where the need is greatest.

If you would like to choose where your donation goes, please contact our team who will help you find the right opportunity to invest in.

How your donation is used

81.9%
Overseas programmes

Almost 82 pence in every pound donated goes towards our emergency response and long-term development programmes, working together with people living in the most difficult situations to bring about lasting change to lives, livelihoods and communities.

Asma Begum (37) and her husband Abdul with their three daughters Lamia (18), Sadia (16) and Maria (5) and their grandmother Kulsum Begum (72) started CRAAIN in 2020. Asma Begum started as a lead farmer, received training and seeds. Before, she did agri activities but wasn’t very successful. She had received one ring composter from the local gov but no training on how to use it. As a lead farmer, she has supported 400 households in this area. She used to rely on her husband but is now totally reliable.
