Welcome to Foundation

Foundation is a climate fund for England’s Northwest. We raise money by collecting donations from businesses and individuals and use them to fund creative carbon reduction projects in communities across the region.

We are a local alternative to carbon offset. By compensating for your unavoidable carbon emissions with a donation to Foundation you can support carbon-saving projects in your community. It’s a massive bonus for the region and we are the only organisation that can make it happen.

Since our launch in April 2009 we have invested over £400,000 and supported 18 projects that are on target to save 10,850 tonnes of CO2. That’s the equivalent of heating nearly 3,000 homes for a year, driving around the world 1,380 times, or powering Blackpool illuminations for 47 years!

So donate to compensate and keep the benefits in the Northwest!
