Welcome to Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland Community Foundation

About us

We are building a permanent fund – created from donations from Leicestershire and Rutland companies and individuals - so that we can give out substantial sums in interest every year, to meet local needs.

While we’re building the fund, we also give out grants on behalf of government, local authorities and companies, to meet local needs.

We’re a first point of call for philanthropists, companies and individuals  who want to give effectively in Leicestershire and Rutland. We offer support for your giving and provide a clear, current picture of the wide range of local needs and have contacts with other major donors.

"Far too few people realise just how much work all the voluntary and community groups do - often quietly and without much money - to help people. The fabric of our society would be a lot weaker without them."

Richard Everard DL, chairman, Everards Brewery

Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland Community Foundation links people who need support with people who can and want to give support
