Modern Philanthropy
Welcome to Leicestershire and Rutland Community Foundation.
We’re an unusual charity! We don’t fundraise as such; we’re here to support charitable groups meeting local needs – and to support people who want to give money to help others.
We set up and run grant-giving funds for local families, individuals, and companies – like your own charitable foundation, without all the work. The donors direct their giving, and we manage the administration. We also give grants for agencies, the NHS, government, the National Emergencies Trust, and we reinvigorate dormant trusts.
We maintain local knowledge and specialise in local grant giving. All areas face challenges, and at any time in life people can be hit by physical or mental illness, family problems, debt, loss, loneliness. Some challenges are sudden crises, others are complicated and long-lasting.
Hundreds of local charitable groups work hard and effectively to mitigate all these and more, as well as providing affordable access to sport and the arts, and protecting local wildlife and our environment.
Some are quite large charities, others very small. Almost none are household names. Yet they are vital. With your philanthropic grants, you can help them to make to life in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland worth living – for all of us.
