Our Projects

BRITEVENTS NORTHWEST OPERATIONS FUND

Even though we do not aim to make a profit, unless for reinvestment, our aim is not to make a loss on supporting our fundraising activities. A direct contribution into this fund makes the chances of loss much lower. Your pledge of money or item sales assist us in hiring event venues, funding the costs of website hosting, customized software, and business subscriptions. It also aids expenses for research and event host or organizer retention fees (usually $25-75 per event or per month). It also allows us to offer more attractive prizes for our online competitions which are used to induce interest and participation in being a Brit Club member and spreading the word about our causes.

TRANSATLANTIC SCHOOL TWINNING FUND

Our mission is to build a lasting charitable partnership between schools in the United States and the United Kingdom, enabling young people to learn with and from one another through shared values, active citizenship, and meaningful fundraising for communities in need.

Through school twinning, we aim to strengthen understanding across cultures, encourage pupils to see themselves as responsible global citizens, and create opportunities for students, teachers, and families to share information, experiences, ideas, and practical skills.

BRITBIZ BUSINESS START UP FUND

Our mission is to bring Brits, American Britophiles, and their network of friends and family together to support British-themed and British-owned businesses as they take root, grow, and thrive in the United States, with a special initial focus on new businesses across the Pacific Northwest. The main investment of the fund will be in funding education and training needs of the management and staff when no other help is available. The business will be in the small business size with 10 employees or less at the time of funding and capital investment for the startup of less than $100,000.

NON PROFIT PARTNERSHIPS

We are looking to incorporate one British managed or British themed nonprofit, in each of our three Brit Club areas, into our new "Pledge and Pay" and "Donated Item" systems. 100% of that non profit's activity and investment must be in that Brit Club area. Britevents Northwest will add that Nonprofit to our beneficiaries on Pledge forms at local events. When that nonprofit is selected by a gifter from that Brit Club area, then 50% of the gift will go to that Nonprofit and 50% to Britevents Northwest's three Funds. Our 50% will qualify for "Pledge Credit" and a potential free thank you gift to the gifter. This is an incentive not normally available to most Nonprofits looking for direct donations.
