County Durham Community Foundation in Durham, County Durham

County Durham Community Foundation (Charity Number 1047625) is an independent grant-making foundation. For 28 years, County Durham Community Foundation has been working with local businesses, donors, the public sector and national partners to create tailored programmes of grant-making based on local need. We help people and organisations to support local communities where it’s most needed and where it has the greatest impact.

We work with individuals, families and local businesses who want to put something back into their community, either in their lifetime, or through leaving a legacy. Similar to having a charitable trust but without the high administrative costs and lengthy legal processes, supporters can choose from a number of ways to channel their charitable giving by working with the County Durham Community Foundation.

We are fighting poverty and enriching the lives of the people we support.
