Milton Keynes Community Foundation has announced its continued partnership with Volkswagen Group with the establishment of the VWG Endowment Fund.
Volkswagen Group has been a long time supporter of the Milton Keynes Community Foundation, having supplied a car for MK Community Foundation's (MKCF) annual Car Draw for over 32 years.
Alongside this, the company has also continued to fund many voluntary groups and charities across the city which has played a vital role in supporting some of the most vulnerable in Milton Keynes.
The establishment of the VWG Endowment Fund coincides with the Group's 70th birthday celebrations and MK Community Foundation's Match Fund campaign, which has seen VWG's £35,000 generous donation matched by MKCF to create a £70,000 fund.
Ian Revell, CEO, MK Community Foundation said: "As a globally recognised brand, based in Milton Keynes, we are honoured to be supporting Volkswagen Group in its charity work. The creation of the new VWG Endowment Fund will not only provide long-term sustainability for VWG's giving ambitions but also allows for a larger proportion of the community to benefit from their support,"
Alex Smith, Volkswagen Group Managing Director added: "We are delighted to continue our relationship with the MKCF by supporting investment in this new fund. We are confident it will be used wisely to give grants to local charities which now, more than ever, need our help. We are proud to give back to the community local to our HQ, as well as through our other charitable donations, to other organisations across the UK."
