Hilton in the Community Foundation provides grants to a range of charities and organisations that offer opportunities for education and health to disadvantaged young people.  It also runs a disaster relief and international fund to support relief efforts in affected areas.  The next deadline for applications is 6 May 2008.

 

Hilton in the Community Foundation wants to help as many young people as possible. Under the banner Supporting Young People Worldwide the Foundation is dedicated to making a real difference to those most in need, wherever Hilton operates. Through targeted grant-giving, it aims to support smaller charities that might otherwise be overlooked.

 

In 2006, the Foundation donated over £1.3m to numerous good causes, including Action for Kids, Crisis UK, DebRA, Kids Cookery School, Show Racism the Red Card, Snowdon Award Scheme. The Hilton hotels and offices nominated local charities to receive 152 grants from money raised by colleagues, benefiting causes such as ChildLine, Watford New Hope Trust, Teenage Cancer Trust, Help a Local Child, Fairy Box and many more.

 

The Foundation makes grants to a wide range of charities and organisations that meet one of its three chosen areas of focus:

• Young People – Education
• Young People – Health
• Disaster Relief and International Fund
