What Is
Derbyshire Community Foundation ?

Derbyshire Community Foundation is an independent
local charity, which, with the support and generosity
of local individuals, companies and charitable trusts is
building an endowment fund to benefit Derbyshire
people in perpetuity.

Income generated by our fund is used to make grants to voluntary and community groups, to tackle disadvantage and improve the quality of life for people throughout our county.

By linking local donors with local needs in this way, we are able to address the problems of today and the issues facing future generations.

We provide:
• a range of tailor-made services to help donors channel their charitable giving in a tax efficient way, back in to Derbyshire
• the versatility to assist a wide range of causes, including children, older people, sport, arts and culture, the environment and community development
• through our endowment fund, the means to improve quality of life and help to build stronger communities across the county in perpetuity
• a countywide knowledge that helps us to identify suitable recipients and enables donors to reach grass roots projects that might not otherwise find
the funds they need.

Established in 1996, Derbyshire Community Foundation now manages endowment funds of over £5.6 million and distributes over £1.6 million in grants each year.
