Community Foundations Network
Community foundations want to make your community a better place to live by funding and supporting projects that engage local people.

Community foundations work with donors, large and small, to make sure your gift makes the most impact. Our distinctive and personalised approach to philanthropy means all kinds of donors engage community foundations to manage their funds.

“I feel much more fulfilled as a social entrepreneur than I ever did in the years spent making money. Having earned it, I now return it. Giving and the service of others is making my fortune significant, and it seems as if the more I give away, the richer my life seems to become.”
Dame Stephanie Shirley, UK Ambassador for Philanthropy
