Through flexible and responsive grant making, we enable and strengthen community organisations that are the backbone of our city, because when they thrive, so do our communities – and all of us benefit.
Leeds Community Foundation oversees four distinct charities, including Bradford District Community Foundation (GiveBradford). This means we have separate trustees responsible for our work in Leeds and in Bradford and can develop complementary but distinct strategies to make the most of partnerships at national and regional levels alongside appealing to donors with a specific passion of place.
For over 20 years, we’ve been helping donors invest and distribute more than £65 million to benefit communities across our city and the wider region where it can make the most difference, and we hold about £50m philanthropic capital on behalf of a wide range of donors at any one time.
As a trusted partner to businesses, foundations and professional advisors, we’ve delivered countless strategic giving programmes with life-changing outcomes.
Now, more than ever, our communities need us. With growing social, economic and climate pressures, grassroots community organisations have never been more vital, but with demand soaring and resources stretched, they’ve never been at greater risk. That’s why we’ll continue to develop partnerships, invest where it’s needed and build a fairer future, together.
