Meeting Needs is the event industry’s charitable foundation, connecting the global meetings and events community with carefully selected causes in the UK and overseas.
Founded more than 22 years ago, Meeting Needs raises funds at industry events and through dedicated fundraising activities. The foundation works closely with industry stakeholders and supporters to identify deserving charitable projects and always ensure that funds are directed where they can make the greatest impact.
All grants are carefully monitored, with post‑grant reports provided to ensure transparency, accountability, and measurable outcomes. Meeting Needs builds trusted, long‑term relationships with the charities and projects it supports, tracking progress and offering ongoing support as they grow and develop. This hands‑on approach gives donors complete confidence in how and where their money is spent, with a clear focus on meaningful, sustained support that creates lasting change.
Meeting Needs operates with very low overheads. The foundation has no permanent office and employs just one part‑time administrator, ensuring that the vast majority of funds raised go directly to the causes it supports, maximising value and impact for donors and sponsors.
