The Community Foundation Model
The community foundation model aims are -
Bring donors together to -
- pool funds to create income for local grant-making
- create flexibility to choose how and where their money is directed
Encourage strategic philanthropy, not just generous giving in response to emergencies or appeals. To assist the long-term needs of an area. This is achieved by -
- planning
- strategy
- constructive giving
Be user-friendly grant-makers. This is achieved by –
- advising and helping applicants
- guiding them to other funders
- linking them to extra services and support
The grants support very small groups and contribute toward larger programmes.
Provide a focal point for new initiatives -
- bring local funders together
- attract new sources of support from outside the area
- draw in all sectors to create practical partnerships
- develop an advisory committee - with considerable knowledge of community needs and opportunities
We are working with Two Ridings to create a single fund to support the Voluntary Sector in Hull.
