Bedfordshire and Luton Community Foundation
The Bedfordshire and Luton Community Foundation is a local grantmaker supporting small, grassroots, community groups and charities. It encourages philanthropy and its funds come from local businesses and individuals and from national charities and organisations who recognise our skills and understanding of local needs.
We oversee CSR budgets, implement social value plans and administer charitable giving for a range of donors. If you want to make a tangible difference locally, we'd love to hear form you. In some cases, donors can increase the value of their gift to our endowed fund by 50%.
We are an accredited member of the UK Community Foundations Network and 2021 sees us celebrate our 20th anniversary of supporting our county. We believe in a local focus to encourage real change.
