Cause4 Ltd
Charity and Philanthropy
London
Cause4 champions new ways of scaling up charities and social enterprises, supporting them to change and grow. A small team with big ambition, it's not the size of the project that matters to us, but whether it can make an impact. Provoking change is at the heart of our mission.
Cause4 works in partnership with corporations, charities and people to develop important charitable projects, create new business models, as well as to raise vital funds working across the charity, arts, sports and education sectors.
Since set up in May 2009, Cause4 has raised over £58 million for clients and is committed to helping attract the best graduate talent to work on some of the charitable sector's most pressing issues, by learning lessons from the private sector to benefit not-for-profit organisations.
As a social enterprise and one of the first certified B-Corporations in the UK, Cause4 measures its social impact based on the level of income achieved for clients, and the associated impact of programmes across multiple beneficiary communities.
In 2016, Cause4 was recognised as one of the top 50 scale up companies in the UK. In 2017, Cause4 was voted one of the top ten philanthropic companies in the UK by readers of Real Business magazine.
