Devon Community Foundation is an independent charity supporting community causes across the County. It's for people who love Devon and want to make a real difference to the lives of local people in need.

Over the last seven years, we've made grants totalling over £7 million to over 2,500 community groups in Devon, touching the lives of literally thousands of local people (see Who do we help).

Working with you, we aim to build strong, vibrant and passionate local communities which challenge disadvantage and bring about social change.

We also aim to connect those who want to help, with those who need help, empowering you to tackle local issues together and build a better Devon for everyone (see How to Give and Get Involved).
