About us

The Community Foundation for Lancashire helps individuals and organisations give to causes that matter to them, providing a strategic approach to charitable giving and a robust grant making service, which combined with our insight into community need, ensures that together we achieve maximum impact – reaching those who need it most. 

We have the knowledge and networks to connect those who are passionate about supporting their communities to those grass roots community groups who are best placed to make a real difference. 

Working together we can build a thriving and inclusive community, where everyone can grow, flourish and prosper, now and in the future. 

We work as part of a national network of 47 UK Community Foundations, and are part of a global movement, which started in the USA in 1914, and continued to then spread worldwide.
