UK Community Foundations
UK Community Foundations is the leadership organisation for the national network of 47 accredited Community Foundations across the United Kingdom and 4 international accredited community foundations. It helps people and organisations to invest in local communities where it is most needed and where it will make most impact. UKCF envisages a society where communities will be able to support all those in need. In 2017/18, the network gave grants totalling over £98 million, making UKCF one of the country’s largest grant-giving organisations.
