Essex Community Foundation is helping voluntary and community groups throughout Essex thrive, by providing much needed grants. Since we were established in 1996, some 3500 projects have benefited by £14 million in grants. 

 The Government recognises the huge value that we are adding throughout the County. So much so, that through the GRASSROOTS scheme they are matching donations!

 For every £2 that you give, a minimum of £1 is added by the Government. If you are a personal tax payer, gift aid can also be claimed which almost doubles the value of your gift.

 So, please do help us to reach our target. There really has never been a better time to give.

 You can find out more and see some of the grants that have been awarded via our website www.essexcommunityfoundation.org.uk
