Buckinghamshire is a very special place to live and work. People want to see community life in the county continue to thrive. There are twice as many charities per head of population in Buckinghamshire compared to the national average. Community matters here.
The Foundation offers you the most efficient and effective way of supporting local community groups. We are the vital link between donors and local projects, enabling both to achieve far more than they could ever by themselves. Helping dreams become reality.
Since January 2000 we have helped, thanks to our supporters, over 1,000 projects and provided funding of nearly £3 million to local communities. The Foundation has over 200 Friends, Corporate Friends and Patrons who enable us to have a Grants team that's out and about in touch with local communities. We're here for the long term.
You can join the growing number of donors who are helping build a secure financial foundation for Buckinghamshire's communities in the future.
Let us help you help others
to make a difference in Buckinghamshire!
