Pentland Brands, the global company behind some of the world’s best-loved sports, outdoor and fashion brands, is looking for corporate charity partners and is now accepting submissions.
Pentland is looking for applications from charities with projects focused on two key areas:
1. Inspiring people to get active
2. Empowering disadvantaged communities
Initiatives focusing on the UK, or Pentlands’ key sourcing markets (Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Portugal, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam) will be prioritised. The project proposal should be between £10,000 – £50,000 and last from one to three years.
Karina O’Gorman, Head of Corporate Responsibility, Pentland Brands, said: “At the heart of our business is the belief that we have a responsibility to play our part in being a force for good and using our brands to make a positive impact in the communities where we operate. We’re excited about reviewing the applications and seeing the great work that people are doing across the UK and globally.
“We’ll be looking for projects that demonstrate a measurable impact and are sustainable beyond the period of Pentland funding.”
Shortlisted charities will then be invited to the Pentland Brands London HQ in May to pitch to an employee panel.
Full submission criteria is available at www.pentland.com within the Call for Proposals document and applications should be sent to cr@pentland.com by Friday 20th April 2018.
Pentland’s current charity partners include British Red Cross, United Purpose and World Wildlife Fund, while excess stock is also donated through In Kind Direct.
