Two Ridings Community Foundation jobs and careers

About Two Ridings Community Foundation

Two Ridings Community Foundation plays a special and trusted role in North and East Yorkshire by enabling people who want to give across the region to set up funds and donate to causes they care about; issues like rural suicide, poverty and children’s mental health and wellbeing. From those funds and donations Two Ridings makes grants and gives support to hundreds of grassroots community and charitable organisations across Yorkshire who provide crucial services and life changing activities for local people. Those grants tackle inequality, alleviate poverty, address loneliness and improve wellbeing, helping to create strong, sustainable communities. Two Ridings works with funders, statutory bodies, families, businesses and individuals to realise a shared vision of a connected, thriving region for everyone. Since our inception in 2000, we have delivered over £24 million into local communities benefiting thousands of people each year. Our strong partnerships and unique insights see donors trust us with their giving to champion positive change where it is needed most. Our people and knowledge are what makes us strong. Governed by an engaged board of trustees who work hand in hand with a core team of passionate staff. Based in York, but with our roots all over the region, at Two Ridings it’s all about local people being the difference. Two Ridings is one of 47 accredited community foundations in the UK. Community foundations are unlike other regional charitable organisations because they do not focus on just one specific cause (like cancer or homelessness), they focus on a wide range of issues affecting their local communities.
