Here For (Channel) Island Life.
Across Guernsey and Jersey, we align our resources and expertise to make a positive impact in our local communities, address complex societal issues, and help build a more inclusive, sustainable future for all.
We prioritise funding for activities and programmes that have a broad reach and support the needs of underserved groups.
Part of what makes our community support so impactful is the generosity of our employees, who donate their valuable time and energy to support initiatives throughout the year.
Butterfield Charitable Trust - Channel Islands
We have recently established a Charitable Trust to provide funding to registered charities for special projects or programmes that deliver a significant benefit to the people of Guernsey and Jersey.
The Charitable Trust is funded by a proportion of spend from Butterfield Bank (Channel Islands) Limited's new range of credit cards which are available to Channel Island residents.
Recipients are selected by the fully independent Charitable Trust Committee, who meet annually to review all applications.
Charity Registration Number 1117
