County Durham Community Foundation

County Durham Community Foundation was established in 1995 as an independent grant making charity to benefit communities in County Durham & Darlington. We promote 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. We act as a vehicle for individuals, families and companies who want to put something back into their community, either in their lifetime, or through leaving a legacy.

Our 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.
