Personal Giving

Nottinghamshire Community Foundation’s (NCF) awareness and understanding of local needs, and experience in assessing local groups and projects, enables grants to reach those who will be able to use it well. In the right hands, even a small grant can make a big impact. You may wonder what you can do, what difference you can make. Sometimes the needs can seem so great, and while you may be keen to do more locally, it can be hard to find out about which local groups need support. There are various ways you can support all kinds of groups:

Support one of our Funds

These combine the gifts of a large number of donors. One is unrestricted, while others focus on a theme, such as a specific area of need or part of the City or County. New gifts increase the sums available for future grants. Please contact us for further information.

Set up your own Named Fund

This can be established to reflect your special interests. You tell us the kinds of causes you want to benefit and how involved you want to be. We provide advice and day-to-day management to make it happen. Click here to view Steps to setting up a Named Fund
