One Community

Who we are

We’re a Community Foundation for Kirklees. This means we do things a little differently. We use our community connections to identify local need through community engagement, relationship-building and collaboration. Then distribute core funding and project funding to local charities and community organisations.

We’re a member of UK Community Foundations – a group of charities, just like us, who use place-based funding to distribute local grants. Our network distributes £77 million of funding annually and together has Endowment Funds worth over £580 million. All members are accredited by the United Kingdom Community Foundations and approved by the Charity Commission.
