Our Pledge

TheLocalFund is built on a promise to put local causes first. Here's what we stand for.

We exist to enable local groups, charities, and good causes – not to profit from them. Every decision we make is guided by a simple principle: donations should go where they're needed, not swallowed by overheads.

Minimal fees

We keep our platform fees as low as possible – just enough to cover running costs. No hidden charges, no surprises.

Direct support

Your donations go straight to the cause you care about. We don't redirect funds to corporate marketing or political campaigns.

Free tools for groups

We build and provide free fundraising tools for local groups – prize draw integration, donor management, and promotion.

No waste on marketing

We don't spend donations on flashy ads. Our growth comes from word of mouth and genuine community support.

Transparency

We publish clear breakdowns of where money goes. Every fundraiser and donor can see the impact they're making.

Community-first

We're run by people who believe in local action. Our team volunteers time to support groups that need help getting started.

Whether you're a donor or a local organiser, you can count on us to act with integrity.
