How to get financial support from BUPA:
- Put your event plan/proposal in writing to the Community Connections
team.
Remember that:
- BUPA will only provide financial support to team-based activities (minimum of 4 people per team) or teams working with registered charities. Community Connections will not support individual efforts.
- Support will be concentrated on events that deal with the following themes: health, education, and the elderly.
- For project-based activities (i.e. refurbishing the local homeless shelter), Community Connections will provide £50 per head to be used towards the cost of the materials. A maximum of £5,000 per project applies.
- For fundraising activities (e.g. running as a group in the BUPA Great North Run for Leukaemia Research), Community Connections will donate £50 per head to the charity, once team members have raised a minimum of £100 each.
- Financial support for fundraising activities will be paid on a retrospective basis.
- Funding will not be considered for an event that is considered controversial.
- Funding is for BUPA employees only.
- There is an annual budget of £150,000 (maximum £5,000 per project) - so remember to get your application in early!
