The Community Foundation continues to look at how we can best respond to the recent violence and hate in parts of our region.
We are keen to support local charities and community organisations serving the people most affected by recent events and can consider funding for immediate responses, where needed. But we are also interested in supporting longer term recovery and resilience work, and efforts to build connections within and between communities.
We do not have a dedicated fund for this, but we encourage organisations seeking support to make a general application to us which we will consider against the criteria for the funds we have available. If your organisation has a current grant from us and you think you need to repurpose it to better respond to current circumstances, please get in touch.
