Helping people to achieve their potential, fulfil their aspirations & build thriving communities
County Durham Community Foundation promotes lasting charitable giving by bringing together donors with their chosen causes, through well targeted grants that make a genuine difference to the lives of local people.
Why the community needs usOur grants support local voluntary-led organisations and projects that have an incredible impact in their community, enabling them to continue their work and make vital improvements to their service. We also provide support for individuals and families in need.
Our impact on the communitySince the Community Foundation was established in 1995 we have awarded over £20million in grants to almost 900 local community groups and individuals.
The Community Foundation is always interested in hearing from potential volunteers. We have a number of different opportunities available, both in the office helping with administration, customer service, PR and events, and externally, carrying out monitoring visits to the groups we support.
