How can I make a difference?

Donating to community grant funds creates a legacy with long-lasting reach in your local community.

The fundamental aim of a community foundation is to harness the power of philanthropy to build and maintain a fund to help the community, now and into the future. Tees Valley Community Foundation has successfully grown a fund of more than £14 million; this is expertly invested to provide income that we distribute to hundreds of worthy community causes throughout the Tees Valley, every year. We want to continue to build this fund to £20 million and beyond.

You can join us, as a partner donor, by donating to community grant funds. This helps us in our mission to improve the lives of those in our community, now and into the future.

If you’re interested in donating to community grant funds, or you represent an individual or a company that is, please get in touch using the Contact Us form and Hugh McGouran, TVCF Chief Executive, will respond to your personally.

Options

Starting a named fund with Tees Valley Community Foundation removes the hassle and cost of navigating and managing your own charitable trust. You can name the fund after a family member or business if you wish and can chose how much involvment you want to have in the grant-making process. TVCF can get on with the job of donating grants to the right community projects on your behalf and provide impact reports. A named fund is a burden-free, assured way to give back to your community in the way you want to.
