We are South Yorkshire's Community Foundation and our goal is to improve the lives of local people.We support community groups who help people facing hardship and disadvantage and those working to improve the communities they live in. We connect people who care about South Yorkshire and have the means to invest in its future with the community groups striving to build stronger and healthier communities.
Why the community needs usWe were founded in 1986 because we believe…everyone deserves the same opportunities to fulfil their potential, no matter where they live we can achieve economic, social and physical well-being across South Yorkshire that we can build stronger communities and that giving local can transform lives
