What we do

# #

"These are ordinary people doing extraordinary things to make Devon a better place for everyone." Rt Revd Michael Langrish

Whether you are a small voluntary or community group helping local people or an individual or organisation who wants to make a difference to your local community - we can help.

Every year, we manage around £1 million in grant making, getting money to where it really matters to voluntary groups on the frontline doing vital and life changing work in our local communities. Click here to Apply for a Grant.

At the same time, we provide a cost-effective, personal and flexible way for businesses, individuals, statutory organisations and private trusts to invest in these community groups and make a lasting difference to local issues and causes in Devon. Click here to go to How to Give.

Together, we aim to build stronger and better communities for everyone in Devon, both now and for the future.
