South Yorkshire's Community Foundation helps individuals and businesses who want to give generously to support income generation for our wide-ranging grant programmes.
Giving - to community organisations and helping people, businesses to give - is what we have been passionate about for almost 40 years.
SYCF is the region’s largest local grant giving charity.
Every year, we support hundreds of community projects and organisations across Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffied with grant funding. Since 1986, the Community Foundation has given out almost £40m to grassroots groups.
Over 40 years, the Foundation has created a remarkable legacy of empowering communities, supporting local charities and making a lasting difference across in South Yorkshire's communities.
