Modern Philanthropy in Action

These 5-minute films feature the work of each of the local charitable groups supported by the Women in Philanthropy Fund between 2010 and 2019. They were made by the Community Foundation and De Montfort University, shown at an annual screening hosted by Curve with Women in Philanthropy, then given to the groups to promote and support their work. 

The grants provided through our donors’ generous contributions are varied and deliver vital support for the communities of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. There are so many charitable organisations working tirelessly and effectively – making a difference to all our lives. Here you’ll find but a few of the projects that are making an enormous difference in your local area.

We fund projects within these broad aims that cover the spectrum of needs in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.
