Cheshire Community Foundation
Cheshire Community Foundation was established in 2011 as an
independent registered charity. The foundation aims to do three
unique things; inspire local philanthropy, build endowment and get
money to grass root organisations. They cover the three
local authority areas of Cheshire East, Cheshire West and Chester
and Warrington.
Grants made by the Foundation generally fall under the broad
heading of wellbeing and social welfare and, of particular
interest, are local voluntary and community organisations that can
meet immediate and emerging needs and that have the commitment of
their local community.
The foundation encourages applications which
- Support new or existing social and community activity
- Demonstrate that funding will make a real difference
- Encourage community involvement and self-help
- Are, in the main, from community based organisations
