What we do to achieve our mission:
We are a registered charity and limited company established in 1988. We are governed by a board of trustees made up of leaders from the business, philanthropy, public, and charity sectors – most nominated from among our members. Our team runs the Foundation from our office, Philanthropy House, in Newcastle upon Tyne. We are the largest community foundation by asset size in the UK, and one of around 2,000 across the globe.
