Localgiving.com allows you to find and give to local charities and community groups, even those too small to be registered. Each of these groups have been vetted by their local Community Foundation before appearing on Localgiving.com. Your donation will give new hope and support to groups who often find it difficult to obtain funding.

Each local Community Foundation also manages the distribution of funds to the local group, to ensure that your donation is appropriately spent by trustworthy charitable organisations. So you can feel confident about the donations you make. All Community Foundations that work with Localgiving.com follow quality standards endorsed by the Charity Commission.

Both of Localgiving.com’s shareholders are registered UK charities who are committed to promoting local communities and helping them thrive by providing a steady stream of support and recognition. Localgiving.com’s fee covers the maintenance of the system, processing of payments, and customer care. Any surpluses made by Localgiving.com are required to be given back to the two shareholders, both registered charities whose objectives are to encourage local philanthropy.
