LOCAL GIVING FOR LASTING VALUE
Herefordshire Community Foundation (HCF) is a local independent charity that provides
a grant making and fund management service to our donors. We can give grants to individuals,
families, voluntary and community groups (increasingly known as the Third Sector)
and other charitable causes and support projects that make a real difference to the
quality of life for the people of Herefordshire.
Our Vision
Active and vibrant local communities in Herefordshire which are supported by effective,
independent and sustainable grant making and local philanthropic giving.
Our Mission
Through our experience and expertise, we provide grant making and fund management

our donors and local needs.
Herefordshire Community Foundation has been created by local people, to support local
communities.
