We are delighted to welcome DF Capital to the Forever Manchester family. The partnership is starting with a bang with the launch of the DF Capital Foundation. This fund will support a wide range of grassroot community projects across Greater Manchester and launches on 21 August 2025. Staff at DF Capital will meet twice each year to consider funding applications; giving employees a level of ownership and involvement and providing a unique and inclusive employee engagement initiative while helping to make a meaningful difference in local communities where DF Capital staff and customers live and work. Quote from Carl D’Ammassa, CEO: “Supporting our local communities and giving back is something strong in DF Capital’s DNA. The DF Capital Foundation takes our community commitment to another level, supporting an even broader range of grassroots projects over and above what we already do today. We’re proud to partner with Forever Manchester to ensure our grants reach areas, projects and groups that can make a big difference to the lives of many across Greater Manchester. We are proud to be a bank headquartered in this great city and are therefore eager to make a lasting impact where it really matters most.” Quote from Jean Mills, Director of Philanthropy at Forever Manchester: “We’re looking forward to working with the team at DF Capital to deliver this fantastic fund. It’s great that, being in the unique position of being a Manchester headquartered bank, they recognise the importance and value of supporting local projects, run by local residents, that help to make local communities thrive.”
