Received an inheritance, got a well paid job or even won the lottery?

Want to help Bristol communities get through difficult times and create a better future? We can help! 

Money gives us security and choices, but many of us also want to use what we’ve got to help others. Deciding who to give money to can be hard, especially if we don’t feel very connected to what’s happening on the ground. But what if community volunteers, organisers and activists decided for you? 

When you give money to Bristol Redistro it’s easy to support local communities across the city. People who are involved in grassroots community work – and have first hand experience of the issues they are working to solve – will carefully decide how your money is best used to support Bristol communities. They get money to a range of grassroots community groups often unseen and overlooked by mainstream funders. Most groups have an annual income of less than £2,000 so a little money makes a huge impact.

Ways to donate

There are a couple of ways you can make a donation to Redistro, we appreciate them all!

Donate via our Open Collective page – we have an account with Open Collective that allows us to raise and distribute money in a collaborate and transparent way. You can make one-off and regular donations. Donate here.

Donate directly into the bank account – this means there will be no fees taken from your donation so this is the best option if you want to donate a larger amount. We can manually add it to our Open Collective page, if that’s ok with you. Please drop us an email if you donate directly as we’d love to say thanks and keep you up to date with our work!

If you have inherited a large amount of money that you want to give to different organisations over time, you might be interested in setting up a Donor Advised Fund. Charities Aid Foundation and Quartet Community Foundation, amongst others, offer this service. DAFs are tax-efficient and are similar to having your own foundation except a lot of the work of setting up and administering it is done for you and its a lot less expensive. Through DAFs you can give money to registered charities and also other organisations that are working towards a charitable purpose, such as relieving poverty, education, health, arts and culture, human rights, equality and environmental protection.
