Give to your community
We offer a range of giving options to enable local individuals, families, businesses and trusts to give to your community – to get their funds to the heart of the issues that matter most to them in a way that is both efficient and personalised.
Applying for Funding
The process starts with submitting an Expression of Interest (EOI) – this is a simple form where you can tell us what you need to fund.
The Community Foundation for Surrey is an independent charitable foundation that brings together people and organisations who wish to give to the community with voluntary organisations providing positive solutions to the many challenges within our communities.
Companies, individuals, families and trusts can establish a fund with the Foundation, which supports a growing programme of grant-making to communities.
The Community Foundation for Surrey is part of a national network of 47 Community Foundations, one of the fastest growing philanthropic movements in the UK. Founded in the heart of local communities, each Community Foundation is unique, identifying local needs and mobilising local resources.
Thank you to everyone that came together to help us tell our story…
