Welcome to the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Community Foundation

We are local people committed to strengthening our communities by encouraging local giving.

We manage charitable funds on behalf of individuals and organisations
We make grants to local charities and voluntary groups
We promote the benefits of 'Investing in our Community'

Faced with the difficulty of choosing between thousands of local causes, many potential donors often opt to support large national organisations instead, meaning charitable giving from our area leaves the locality never to return.

Please take a look at our site and find out how investing in your local community can make a genuine difference or if you are looking for funding explore the grants we have available.
