About the Foundation

The OneFamily Foundation is all about you, your family and your local community. We don’t pay dividends to shareholders, which allows us to reinvest a percentage of our profits to give something back to you.

We do this in two ways:

Personal Grants - Up to £1,000 is available to offer a financial helping hand to you, a family member or close friend.
Community Awards - Nominate a project close to your heart for a chance to win an award of up to £25,000!

If you're a OneFamily customer with an active policy, register with the Foundation to see how you can make the most of this excellent customer benefit.
