UKCF is a national network of community foundations based all over the UK. Community foundations connect philanthropic people with local causes that matter to them. They are charitable organisations focused on supporting a defined geographical area by leveraging funds to support community needs and local organisations making a difference.

Your role will be diverse and a blend of project work, event management and administration. You will be involved in organising conferences, meetings, hosting webinars, managing specific areas of work and building relationships.
Our members vary from very small teams with two or three staff to well established very well resourced foundations. The Membership and Learning team are the contact point for all CFs: answering members’ enquiries, championing best practice and raising standards.
