There are 42 quality accredited community foundations around the country. Community foundations are becoming the vehicle of choice for community philanthropy and charitable activity.

What we do

Community foundations are local charities which link philanthropists with grass roots projects where a small donation can have an enormous impact and directly change people’s lives for the better.

Why it works

The success of community foundations is largely because they are rooted in the community. A spirit of partnership enables local communities to make change happen. A flexible, adaptable approach creates real opportunities that did not exist before and facilitates positive lasting change.
