WHAT DO WE MEAN BY A PHILANTHROPIC MAJOR GIFT?
We are incredibly grateful for gifts of any size. We define received or pledged gifts of £5,000 or more as major philanthropic contributions.
The impact of major gifts
As a result of the generosity of our supporters we have been helping veterans for over 100 years. A major gift has the capacity to transform the lives of veterans; contact us today to champion a specific project or to make a multi-year commitment to invest in and safeguard our vital treatment. Read our latest newspaper and reports to learn more about our most recent activities with veterans and current priorities.
Combat Stress’ Benefactors are a group of generous supporters, giving £5,000 or more each financial year, who are committed to ensuring veterans with complex mental health issues are able to move past or learn to cope with their trauma. Our Major Giving team are proud to work with our ambitious and dedicated supporters to share the organisation's priorities, identify areas for investment, and work together to deliver the most impact for veterans’ mental health. In recognition of their significant support our Benefactors enjoy regular updates, access to our expert team as well advance notice and complimentary tickets to some of our more exclusive events.
Jean Bryce, Combat Stress Benefactor and Army veteran
“I choose to support Combat Stress because they offer a lifeline for those veterans who suffer from the overwhelming effects of PTSD, depression and anxiety.”
Ash Alexander-Cooper OBE, former specialist military unit commander and major supporter
“I have many friends who’ve suffered physical and mental injury in the service of our country. I feel an overwhelming urge to give back and do what I can to support those for whom trauma experienced continues to affect them and their families”
Lord Rami Ranger CBE, Combat Stress Benefactor
“For me, being a Benefactor is an opportunity to bring mental health into the spotlight and play my part in helping those who do so much for us in the line of duty.”
A gift today will make a real and tangible difference to the lives of the former servicemen and women who turn to us in their time of need.
