How it Works

 

Community Foundations act as a bridge between those who wish to contribute to their community and groups with innovative, charitable projects tailored to improve the lives of those in their area. Here at Two Ridings we offer a range of grants that have grown from the generous support of individuals, businesses and organisations alike, and distribute them across North and East Yorkshire, York and Hull.

The Benefits of the Community Foundation Approach

 For the Donor

• Personalised philanthropy - You specify how, where, on what type of projects and over what period of time your money is distributed.
• We accept donations of all sizes and all sources, whether individuals, groups or companies.
• We do the paper work - Your donations will be managed and distributed by a dedicated and experienced team of staff who will ensure your decisions are fulfilled.

For the Community

• Our extensive local knowledge and unique position allows us to translate all donations into positive and lasting change.
• By linking philanthropists with grass roots projects, small donations can have an enormous impact and directly change people's lives for the better.
• We are dedicated to strengthening local communities, creating opportunities and tackling issues of disadvantage and exclusion.

This brings diverse individuals and groups together to work in partnership to improve our shared lives and societies.
