"I've enjoyed myself so much. I only get out for a couple of hours a week because I look after my wife. Thank you so much"
We believe personal giving should be fun, rewarding and satisfying. When you give, you want know where your money has gone, who it's helped and to see what a difference it has made.
Every grant made by the Foundation is assessed and monitored (by both our Trustees and area panels of local people), so you can be sure your gift is being put to the best possible use and helping to change lives in Devon for the better.
If you decide to set up your own Fund with the Foundation, you can be involved in grant making decisions and get to meet the people and volunteers which you have helped. Click here to give in your name.
You'll also get a chance to meet other like-minded philanthropists who want to use their giving to make something good happen.
However you choose to make a gift, we can work closely with you and your professional advisors to help you give in a personal and tax-efficient way.
Both Barclays Wealth Management and Coutts already work with Community Foundations across the UK as part of their Philanthropy Service.
