Community Foundation for Surrey

Who we are

The Community Foundation for Surrey connects those within the county in a position to give with those who are driving local action. We bring together local donors and those acting to provide positive solutions in our communities for local people and disadvantaged individuals.

Companies, individuals, families and trusts can establish a fund with the Foundation, which supports a growing programme of grant-making to communities. The Community Foundation for Surrey is part of a national network of 46 Community Foundations, one of the fastest growing philanthropic movements in the UK.
