About us
Who we are
Heart of England Community Foundation is a registered charity and the leading, independent grant making foundation in the West Midlands and Warwickshire. Since 1995, we have proudly awarded over £35 million to over 7,000 great causes across the region.
We believe in a fairer, happier and healthier Midlands – where everyone has equal access to opportunities, experiences genuine wellbeing, and enjoys a healthy and active life as part of their community.
We nurture philanthropy, connecting people who care, with incredible causes that matter. We help to unlock the resources to tackle local issues and to support people and communities to thrive across the region.
Equality, diversity and inclusion policy
The Foundation is committed to ensuring equitable and equal opportunities in employment, grant making, community endeavours and all other work activities. When working for our organisation, seeking employment, or receiving our grants, it is our priority to ensure no one ever experiences unfair treatment based on protected characteristics, which include; age, disability (including mental health), sex, gender, gender reassignment, gender identity, race/ethnicity, faith/belief, sexual orientation, marital/civil partnership, socio-economic or family status.
