Personal Giving
If you’re considering giving but are unsure where to start or how to make the biggest difference, Lincolnshire Community Foundation can guide you. We specialise in creating bespoke funds that align with your specific priorities, helping your donations target the issues that matter most to you in local communities.
With our extensive knowledge of Lincolnshire’s voluntary sector, we identify the charities and groups that are creating the greatest impact and can also conduct targeted research to ensure your contributions support the causes closest to your heart.
By working with us, you can be confident that each grant is carefully assessed by our independent grants panel, with ongoing monitoring to maximise its impact. We provide detailed feedback on the groups and individuals benefiting from your support, with opportunities to connect directly with the projects you fund.
Setting up a fund with Lincolnshire Community Foundation is an alternative to starting your own charity, offering flexibility and peace of mind. This approach may be suitable if you are receiving or leaving a legacy, managing significant assets, or selling a business or property. We handle all requests and grant management, can involve family and close friends, and provide tax-efficient giving options, keeping administration costs low while ensuring your funds go further to benefit local communities.
The Charity Commission recognises that Community Foundations like ours effectively manage charitable funds, optimising their local impact and making your giving as powerful as possible.
