Herts100 - connecting businesses that care with causes that matter

By becoming a member of Herts100, your business will enable HCF to plan and budget immediate and long term support in areas where people are leading extremely difficult lives and suffer real deprivation across Hertfordshire.

With an estimated 30,000 children in our county currently living below the poverty line; 8,290 reported cases of domestic abuse in the last year; 658 winter deaths attributed to poor living conditions and 25% of residents experiencing mental health problems at some point during their lives. We have a lot of work to do if we are able to be truly proud of the county in which we live.

How it works
Members make an annual donation of £1,000 or more, for a minimum of three years:

• 60% is used immediately to support local need


• 30% is invested in the Herts100 endowment fund, with the income generated used to make grants to help Hertfordshire causes long into the future


• 10% is used to support the ongoing work of HCF within the county
