Our partnership with 3i
3i is an investment company specialising in private equity and infrastructure and, as a responsible business, wants to make a positive contribution to communities.
3i has donated over £500,000 to Independent Age over the past six years.
“We chose Independent Age as one of our charity partners as they fit with our focus on supporting older people and we were impressed by the amazing work they do, particularly in supporting older people experiencing financial hardship.”
Kathryn van der Kroft, Director of Communications, 3i
During COVID-19, 3i donated to our grants fund, which awarded £2.3 million in grants to 258 organisations supporting older people through the pandemic.
3i has fundraised for us regularly by hosting Big Tea events and raising money at its annual charity summer event. It has made regular donations and been flexible in its giving, which has enabled us to use matched funding from the Big Give.
In 2022 Claudio Ossanna ran the London Marathon for Independent Age. His fundraising was matched by 3i, which took the total to £2,560. Claudio says:
“Not only did I challenge myself physically, but I also witnessed the incredible impact of the charity on older people and their families. The organisation provides vital care and information while fostering a sense of community.”
We are looking forward to many more years of partnership with 3i.
