About Herefordshire Community Foundation

The Herefordshire Community Foundation is a grant-awarding charity helping local voluntary and community groups. Our aim is to make a real difference to the lives of vulnerable, isolated and disadvantaged people in Herefordshire by connecting people who care with causes that matter. We set up affordable, tax-efficient, personally named giving funds for companies, families and individuals. These funds support local charitable and voluntary groups for the public benefit that help keep our county healthy and thriving. Since it was founded in 2002 Herefordshire Community Foundation has awarded thousands of grants to grass roots organisations working across a wide range of charitable activities. The Foundation uses donations to support charitable initiatives including mental health, youth activities, the environment and the elderly. In addition we raise money for other community needs such as our Surviving Winter appeal distributing money to individuals struggling with the cost of heating their home, and our Emergency Fund to help households affected by flooding. The current climate is very challenging for small community groups. Our grants programmes provide a lifeline, playing a deeply appreciated and important role in supporting local people to lead healthy and fulfilling lives in Herefordshire.
