Objectives of Fund
The broad purpose of UK Community Foundations is to promote and support local charitable and community activity. This is achieved through managing donor funds, building endowments and making grants to charities and community groups. Community foundations are created by and for local people.
Value Notes
Each community foundation has its own grant-making policy and may administer funds on behalf of other agencies. Levels of grant assistance, therefore, vary greatly.
A total of £98.3 million has been awarded in grants over the course of the last year through 46 community foundations.
The average grant size is around £4,000.
Match Funding Restrictions
Match funding is not required.
Who Can Apply
Local voluntary, community and charitable groups may apply whilst some community foundations have funds for individuals. Each has its own grant-making policy, criteria and timescales.
Applications from national charities may be accepted if the proposed project is firmly rooted in the local area.
Restrictions
Each community foundation is specific to its region and the categories of support vary, although there tend to be some factors in common in the definition of what they do not expect to support. They are unlikely, for example, to donate to major capital appeals or to consider standard appeal letters. Most would rule out projects and services with an exclusively religious purpose. They also refuse to support any work with a party political content.
Potential applicants are advised to contact the sponsor directly for further information.
