# Town council joins The Good Exchange to support local good causes - Link: https://fundraising.co.uk/2019/07/16/town-council-joins-the-good-exchange-to-support-local-good-causes/ - Published: 2019-07-16T07:25:54+01:00 - Author: Melanie May **Hampshire’s Tadley Town Council has joined not-for-profit online matching platform The Good Exchange.** Tadley lies in the north west of Hampshire and is adjacent to the border with Berkshire, home to both [The Good Exchange](https://thegoodexchange.com/) and its charity-owner, [Greenham Trust](https://greenhamtrust.com/). Greenham Trust has pledged to match £16,000 worth of grants Tadley Town Council has made available to local applicants, bringing the total funding available to charitable projects in Tadley South, Tadley North and Baughurst to £32,000. The first set of grants are available until September 2019 and good causes can find more information and start an application, [via The Good Exchange](https://app.thegoodexchange.com/funders/10873/tadley-town-council). ## Advertisement Tadley Town Council solely supports charitable projects from organisations that deliver direct benefits to local residents and the surrounding communities and in 2018/19 gave grants to a number of charitable organisations including the Royal British Legion, the Citizen’s Advice Bureau, local schools, sports and wildlife/ environmental charities. Jo Page, Chairman at the Council, said: > “We’re delighted to be up and running on The Good Exchange platform and use it > to collaborate with like-minded funders who share our objectives. This approach > will help us to increase awareness of our grants and broaden our reach to a wider > number of local good causes,”. “Joining together with Greenham Trust on a match- > funding basis will double the amount available and provide a real boost to the > local charitable organisations that we support.” Chris Boulton, CEO, Greenham Trust, said: > “We’ve seen time and again the significant benefits of match-funding, which acts > as a compelling incentive to drive charitable donations. We hope that doubling > the grants on offer to applicants in Tadley and neighbouring towns will encourage > more organisations to apply and more individuals and businesses to fundraise and > make charitable donations in the area, ultimately delivering a greater impact > to those that need it most.” * **[Kent Community Foundation encourages local giving with match challenge](https://fundraising.co.uk/2019/08/06/kent-community-foundation-encourages-giving-match-challenge/)**( 6 August 2019) * **[The Good Exchange & Sovereign partner to offer £60,000 community investment fund](https://fundraising.co.uk/2019/08/13/the-good-exchange-sovereign-partner-to-offer-60000-community-investment-fund/)**( 13 August 2019) * **[Up to £10,000 available for outer London projects to reduce poverty & inequality](https://fundraising.co.uk/2019/10/03/up-to-10000-available-for-outer-london-projects-to-reduce-poverty-inequality/)**( 3 October 2019) ![Loading](https://fundraising.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/page-views-count/ajax-loader- 2x.gif)
