Making a difference together
UKCF is uniquely placed to collaborate with Government, businesses, trusts and foundations to make a big impact at a local level. Together with our partners, we resource fantastic grassroots organisations - often overlooked by large funders - that make a real difference in their neighbourhoods.
We do this by managing tailored programmes with community foundations, either in specific regions or nationally, providing learning and insights for future funding ideas.
Our current partnerships
Whether we're working with Anchor Butter to 'spread' good in the neighbourhood, collaborating with Clean Air Fund to explore grassroots air quality campaigning or partnering with Cellnex UK to increase digital inclusion, our partnerships are as creative as the communities we work in.
Revitalising dormant trusts
Charities and trusts that are struggling to spend funds can often face a stalemate situation. We work with the Charity Commission for England and Wales to help charities either get back up and running or revitalise their dormant assets into good causes across the UK.
Last year, over £10 million was reinvested in Welsh communities by Community Foundation Wales and the Welsh Government.
Where community foundation funding comes from
Community foundations receive most donations from individuals and families wanting to support local good, either by setting up funds, leaving a legacy or supporting existing funds around a common theme.
Funding also comes from corporate partners, UKCF-managed programmes, local authorities, other statutory bodies, trusts and foundations, local police and crime commissioners (PCCs), integrated care systems (ICSs), local resilience forums (LRFs) and more.
