Camden Giving

Connecting Camden to end local inequality and poverty.

Participatory Grantmaking

Camden Giving supports people with lived experience of the issues we address to decide who receives grants from us. That means that if we give a grant to a youth club, young Camden residents will decide which youth club that will be.

This is called Participatory Grantmaking and we think all funders should work this way.

Get Involved

Your fundraising is vitally important. Inequality in Camden is growing year on year, a third of children in Camden live in poverty and average life expectancy in the poorest wards is 10 years less than the wealthiest wards. Your support ensures we can keep working to change those statistics.

Our Grants

Camden Giving provides grants that benefit people who live, work and play in Camden. We think that the people who live with Camden’s challenges are best placed to know how to overcome them, so if you receive funding from Camden Giving, it will always be given by a panel of local people, who receive money and training to make decisions.
