> “Being able to recognise which UK companies contribute the most to society can
> dramatically improve a charity’s chances of finding the support they need. Looking
> for corporate funding can seem daunting for charities that haven’t looked at it
> before, but this guide shows different criteria for each company, why they give,
> what they give and how they like to be approached, making it easy to find potential
> partners. In many ways they are just like other funders, and this guide makes 
> it easy for charities to use the fundraising skills they already have, to find
> companies that can help them to do more.”
