The Isle of Wight is rich with around 1,200 community and voluntary groups bringing people together to improve the quality of life or address disadvantage. 

The Isle of Wight Community Fund (IWCF), established with endowned funds from the Isle of Wight Charitable Trust (IWCT), has been set-up by local people to support local communitites.

Our IOW funds have awarded over £500,000 of grants to 133 groups benefiting 44,000 beneficiaries. 

We are here to make it easy for you, as a company or an individual, to donate money to local causes. We make sure your donations go where funds are really needed and will make a difference.
