HIWCF has built endowment funds of over £15m for the long-term benefit of our communities and in the last 10 years we have distributed over £10m in grants to support over 3,000 community projects across Hampshire and Isle of Wight. We are proud to have reached nearly 500,000 people living in our local communities and to have raised over £2.2m since March 2020 to help those most effected by Covid 19, thanks to the generous support of our donors and partners.
