**The Guardian’s third annual Giving List, published today, reports that companies
in the FTSE 100 increased their giving during 2001-2002 to £818.15m, a rise of nearly
one third.**

Cash grants are still the most popular form of corporate support at £637.3m, but
employee volunteering more than doubled in terms of the value given in company time,
to £90.7m.

Overall the top 100 companies gave 0.8% of their pre-tax profits to good causes,
a rise of nearly 2.5 times the amount given in 2000-2001.
