One for the City
Non-profit Organizations
A donation and member platform that helps support local people with every project that’s undertaken
About us
1% for the City lets you commit 1% of your revenue or profit to charities in Leeds. It’s inspired by 1% for the Planet, but is focused on the city we live and work in. And it helps address the growing gap between the business economy and the people suffering hardship in Leeds because of their socio-economic circumstances. Our manifesto is to: 1) Champion business to become a force for good which benefits wider society and the environment 2) Create a community of businesses committed to growing a more inclusive economy 3) Increase collective giving to charitable and social causes in the city 4) Provide a platform for which businesses can centrally contribute their financial donations 5) Illustrate the impact made businesses supporting the 1% model

Leeds is a vibrant city made all the better for our diverse communities who call it home. Leeds Community Foundation is privileged be able to fund brilliant work that happens in every corner of our city. Bringing people together, providing opportunities, and celebrating what makes each of us uniquely us, as well as all that we have in common. It’s the music sessions that bring together people from all walks of life to create sounds inspired by different cultures. It’s the lunch clubs that offer community, fun and friendship to older people when they might feel lonely. It’s the storytelling projects that allow people’s voices to be heard, shared, and understood by others. It’s the youth centres that inspire young people, giving them opportunities to learn, develop and reach their aspirations. It’s the food pantries that offer urgent support and a friendly face when people find themselves struggling. There’s goodness everywhere you turn in Leeds. Communities come together to support and celebrate each other every day, and we’re proud to play our part in that.

Read all about us below
🌟 A Heartfelt Thank You to Mike Quate 🌟 As we reflect on the incredible journey of the Leeds Digital Ball, we want to extend our deepest gratitude to someone who has been instrumental in our success – Mike Quate. Mike was there from the very beginning, helping Sandra and the rest of the community get the ball rolling (pun intended!). After the first year, he stepped up into the role of Chairman and has been a guiding light for the past three amazing years. 🌟 His unwavering support, dedication, and passion have been nothing short of inspirational. Thanks to Mike's leadership, we've been able to bridge the digital skills gap in Leeds and make a significant impact in our community by raising a whopping £225,000 so far. 🌐❤️ As Mike steps down to focus on One for the City and his own business, byDiffusion, we want to say a massive THANK YOU! 🙏 Your contributions have been invaluable, and we couldn't have achieved what we have without you. Leeds Community Foundation is truly grateful to Mike Quate for all his support of the Leeds Digital Ball over the last three years. Since 2022 his leadership, energy and passion for this partnership has enabled 15 Community Organisations to receive vital funding to address the digital divide across Leeds and help thousands of local people. From Digital Health Hubs enabling older people to access the services they need to providing refugees and asylum seekers with the skills and equipment to access online benefits – this partnership signifies the power of bringing together the private, public and third sector with a collective ambition. We want to personally thank Mike for his contribution and look forward to continuing this important work and being part of the Leeds Digital Ball in 2025. Steph Taylor, Chief Executive, Leeds Community Foundation Mike, you will always be a cherished supporter of the Leeds Digital Ball, and we are forever grateful for your incredible support. Here's to your new ventures and continued success! 🚀✨ #ThankYou #Leadership #Community #LeedsDigitalBall #Inspiration #Gratitude #DigitalSkills
