Giving and philanthropy

The centre for philanthropy on your doorstep

Starting with where you are and the causes that inspire you, the Community Foundation's team of expert advisors is here to guide you in your giving.

We know no two donors are alike, so we offer options allowing you to give when and how you choose. From starting a charitable fund, to giving with others who share your interests; from leaving a legacy to donating now. Whatever route is best for you, we will match your generosity to what is needed in communities now and in the future.

We have unrivalled reach to a huge range of causes in North East England, from the grassroots to the regional. As the most successful organisation of our type in the UK, you can be assured of our stability and that we'll be here to serve the people of the region for generations to come. And because we are a registered charity, you can donate tax efficiently when you give through us.
