Welcome to the new website of South Yorkshire Community Foundation

Connecting people who care to causes that matter....

South Yorkshire Community Foundation aims to improve lives in our  communities

It does this through raising funds from businesses, philanthropists, trusts and statutory bodies and using them to meet the needs of local people facing economic hardship and other barriers to aspiration .

We have two very distinct roles to fulfil :- 

The first is to act as a "donor services agency", meeting the needs of communities, and of individuals in certain cases, through the delivery of appropriate grants

The second is to offer targetted community support allied to the finance we hold, and the donors we serve, to produce imaginative and skillful local solutions to particular problems.
