Angels Den
Nurturing Dreams, Supporting Change
We are thrilled to announce the second year of our ground breaking initiative that reflects our dedication to creating positive change. The Clare Foundation launched its very first Angels Den in 2023, an event that brings together some of the UK’s most influential entrepreneurs to support charitable organisations in Buckinghamshire.
Mike Clare, our Founder and President, explains more here.
The Clare Foundation: Transforming Lives in Buckinghamshire
Welcome
The Clare Foundation was established with the aim of creating a brighter, more vibrant future for the people of Buckinghamshire. Our mission is to empower, uplift, and transform lives across the region. We believe that every individual, every organisation, and every community, has the potential to make a difference, and we are committed to making this vision a reality.
The Angels
Five visionary entrepreneurs have generously donated a total of £50,000 to support charities in the County. This has been matched by The Clare Foundation, bringing the total to £100,000. These leading figures in the business world are not only successful in their respective fields but also deeply committed to making a lasting impact on their communities. Together, they are the driving force behind Angels Den, ready to provide vital support to charities dedicated to improving lives in Buckinghamshire.
The Charities
Ten remarkable charities have been chosen to participate in this event, each representing a unique cause and a profound vision for change. These organisations have been selected for their commitment to making a tangible difference in the lives of those they support.
The Event
On Wednesday, 11th September 2024, these ten deserving charities will have the opportunity to present their missions, visions, and plans to our Angels. The atmosphere will be one of collaboration, inspiration, and hope, as each charity shares its vision for a brighter future in Buckinghamshire.
Making an Impact
The Angels will have the crucial task of allocating the £100,000 donation among the charities that impress them the most. This allocation will be based on how well the charities demonstrate their innovative ideas, passion, and strategic approach to investing these funds for maximum impact.
