The Hampshire and Isle of Wight Community Foundation is an independent charitable Foundation connecting donors to the local causes and charities that they care about.
We are local people committed to strengthening our communities by encouraging local giving for local needs.
- We help local people and businesses to fund charitable and community projects across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight
- We make giving to charity easy and cost effective
- Our grant programmes make a difference to our local communities
- We promote the benefits of 'Investing in our Community'
We specialise in awarding grants to smaller, lesser known charities and community groups. We believe these groups offer the support, services and activities that can really make a difference to local people’s lives. During 2008 and 2009 we distributed £1.5 million in small grants, on behalf of our Fund Holders, to more than 500 community groups and charities across the County.
“We strive to be the best organisation in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight to convert a Philanthropist’s gift into an investment in their Community. A gift may be well received but an investment yields positive returns to the whole Community, now and in years to come”.
If you are looking for funding click on the 'Apply for a Grant' button opposite to see the grants we have available.
