As a philanthropic hub we have the connectivity, knowledge and expertise to advise donors strategically to deliver systemic and societal change. We know philanthropy is different. It takes the longer term view.
The Community Foundation model uniquely connects us to communities. We have a network of 5,000 partners. Whether working locally on the ground, leading changemakers or delivering agenda-setting research, each of our partners share our equality mission.
We are strategic. We deliver impact. We identify connections and solutions that others can’t yet see. Our work has a real long-term impact, delivering Inclusive Communities, Empowering Generations, Accelerating Change and securing Sustainable Futures.
