Celebrating 20 years of the Foundation - Cambridgeshire Community Foundation

Since 2004…

We have awarded over £32 million through over 10,000 grants.

We have supported thousands of organisations, including charities, community groups, schools and sports clubs.

We have funded projects in every ward in Cambridgeshire.

Two decades of working together for a better Cambridgeshire

Thanks to our generous supporters, we have been able to fund vital community projects and empower grassroots initiatives for two decades.

These projects have contributed to a better quality of life across the county, including reducing inequalities and disadvantages.

Together, we have made Cambridgeshire a better place to live and fostered a sense of fairness, unity and resilience in our community.

Supported projects

Up The Garden Bath received a grant to establish and run a community gardening club, focused on teaching about environmental improvement and food production. The club worked to regenerate the garden at Allama Iqbal Centre in Peterborough.

“
Without funders like you helping us to pay the salaries of our staff, we could not do the work we do. In the long term, our hope is to be financially sustainable via the delivery of training, but, until then, thank you for your continued support. It is no exaggeration to say that you have helped save lives.

There is so much more to do

Recent challenges, such as the cost-of-living crisis, have seen people face increasing pressures in our community.

Despite awarding a record total of over £4 million in our last financial year, we are also seeing our largest ever disparity between the demand for grants and the funding available.

Together, we can continue to achieve profound impact through the transformative power of compassion, collaboration and philanthropy.

Let’s continue building a stronger, more vibrant community, where everyone can thrive.
