How we work
UKCF is a membership organisation, first and foremost, supporting the deep connection our members are building within communities.
At a national level, our team works with strategic partners to resource communities with what they need to empower good health and wellbeing, fairness and equality, climate action, community cohesion and development from the roots up.
Our movement
Community foundations work with individuals, families, trusts, businesses and local authorities in their area to explore collaborative funding solutions for systemic inequalities.
At a national level, we champion this work, helping to nurture a vibrant movement of community foundations across the UK and internationally. We provide resources, learning and our unique Quality Accreditation to support development, and we manage national partnership funding with our members.
Our partnerships
With a network that reaches every corner of the UK, we are uniquely placed to deliver nationwide impact at a neighbourhood level. Our focus on data and insights means that we can provide valuable knowledge to improve national or regional policy making and drive even greater impact for communities.
Our partners include trusts and foundations, government bodies, businesses and corporations, investment companies, wealth management services and national charities all wanting to support positive change in UK communities.
Advice and support
Community foundations are keen to support you on your journey, whether you are starting a new local project, applying for grants or wanting to donate to good causes in your area but don't know how/where to begin. Start by looking at our advice and support.
Or perhaps you're not sure what to do with your dormant or inactive trust - UKCF can help you revitalise it into active funding again.
