Giving to local charities is an inspiring, highly rewarding way to help your local community.
The Isle of Wight Community Fund (IWCF) has been set-up by local people to support local communities.
We are here to make it easy for you, as a company, or an individual, to donate money to local causes effectively. We make sure your donations go where funds are really needed and will make a difference. We also make it easy for community groups to apply for funds.
IWCF has been established by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Community Foundation (HIWCF) and the Isle of Wight Charitable Trust (IWCT) who are leaders in their respective fields, and used to delivering successful grant programmes.
With your help, IWCF is building a substantial local fund for the Isle of Wight that will provide lasting benefit for local communities today and create a brighter future for generations to come.

For many of us the Isle of Wight is a wonderful place to live and work with a quality of life second to none. Yet there are also areas of real deprivation on the Island, where people are living extremely difficult lives. These are people in your community, close to home, who need your help.
We are looking for 100 leaders and opinion formers who care about the Island and will join us in addressing these issues.
The Island Hundred is for you if you would like to support grassroots causes in your community.
