A philanthropic resource
communities decide on together
Beginning with local needs, community members raise, govern and use resources together so goodwill can grow in familiar, everyday settings.
A locally rooted, jointly governed
resource for community action
A community fund is generally established as a special fund under a qualified charitable organization and does not form a separate legal entity. It is not only a pool of money, but also a collaborative mechanism through which residents, changemakers and partners identify problems, mobilize resources and advance change together.
A management committee enables diverse participation, deliberative decisions and mutual accountability.
Supports real needs involving children, older people, the environment, public space, resilience and neighborly support.
A complete community cycle from establishment to action
Community funds connect fundraising, governance, program delivery and transparent feedback so resources can be seen, jointly decided on and used sustainably.
