| Hilton in the Community Foundation wants to help as many young people as possible. Under the banner Supporting Young People Worldwide the Foundation is dedicated to making a real difference to those most in need, wherever Hilton operates. Through targeted grant-giving, we aim to support smaller charities that might otherwise be overlooked.
In 2006, the Foundation donated over £1.3m to numerous good causes, including Action for Kids, Crisis UK, DebRA, Kids Cookery School, Show Racism the Red Card, Snowdon Award Scheme. The Hilton hotels and offices nominated local charities to receive 152 grants from money raised by colleagues, benefiting causes such as ChildLine, Watford New Hope Trust, Teenage Cancer Trust, Help a Local Child, Fairy Box and many more. Please see Who we Support for more information.
A large proportion of the Foundation’s income is generated through fundraising initiatives run by Hilton hotels and LivingWell clubs, primarily in the UK and Ireland. By promoting and harnessing the charitable goodwill in the team, our suppliers and guests, the Foundation fosters the energy and commitment of individual supporters and in turn is able to ensure that those most in need benefit 100% from the grants made.
Hilton International funds the central administrative costs of the Foundation, so every £1 raised through our generous donors goes directly to help young people.
