As an independent grant maker, GiveBradford is the place for giving in Bradford and we’re building a movement. Working collaboratively with leaders, community organisations and donors, we’re strengthening the future of our communities, building a fairer Bradford for everyone.

At the heart of The Bradford Fund is our passion and knowledge of the communities which need support the most – identifying priority needs and providing funding through micro and strategic grants that can help to kick-start a new, innovative project or support the long-term strategic direction of our Community Organisations.

Each grant we allocate has one thing in common: all must add social value to improve lives now and in the future. Supporting The Bradford Fund is a direct and compelling way to improve the lives of thousands of people. Every donation to The Bradford Fund helps to shape a brighter future and provide a platform for communities to thrive.

The strategic focus of The Bradford Fund is Resilience. At a time when demand on Community Organisations is greater than ever, we are urgently calling on businesses and individuals to help us support a positive future for communities across the Bradford District.

As society continues to deal with economic uncertainty, we are seeking partners who want to experience real social change and help Community Organisations in a new way, by empowering them to build a sustainable future.

GiveBradford are responsible for raising 100% of our core costs. Accordingly, we need to ensure that we cover all our overheads including the costs of governance and of advising and administering any funds. We take a management contribution on all funds managed by the Foundation which is re-invested in staff time to run our efficient and effective grant programmes, conduct full due diligence, and provide practical support and advice to local community projects.
