Together We Can Do Great Things

For over 35 years, Community Foundation for Calderdale has been connecting people who care with local causes that matter.

Working alongside generous donors, businesses and local communities, we've invested more than £37 million into projects that have transformed lives across Calderdale.

Today, our work is more important than ever. Families continue to face the cost of living crisis, communities are responding to the climate emergency, charities are under increasing pressure, and too many young people lack the opportunities they deserve.

Through local philanthropy, we support grassroots organisations, respond to emerging community needs and invest in lasting solutions that help build a stronger, fairer Calderdale.

As our Chief Executive, Steve Duncan, prepares to retire after 26 years of service, he is launching The Steve Duncan Fund – Helping Young People Embrace Opportunity. The Fund will provide grants that help young people overcome barriers, realise their potential and build brighter futures.

To launch the Fund, Steve and a team of friends will take on the Centurion Challenge – a 100km cycle ride across Calderdale in early November, raising money to create opportunities for the next generation.

Every donation, whatever its size, will help strengthen our communities, inspire local giving and ensure more young people can embrace opportunity.

Together, we really can do great things
