CurrentThe Cornwall Community Foundation helps people across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly by awarding small grants to grassroots organisations who are working to overcome the challenges of disadvantage, exclusion and poverty in their communities.In 1999 a group of philanthropists identified the need to give those struggling across the Duchy a voice, and to establish an independent source of funding within Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. In 2003 the Cornwall Community Foundation (CCF), was formed, continuing to support work to improve education, health – both physical and mental; and the relief of poverty and sickness.Since 2003 CCF has awarded £16m to over 7000 local projects across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.Our VisionWe want Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly to be a great place to live for everyone, where people work together to address disadvantage and build strong, resilient communities.Our MissionWe inspire philanthropy and giving to meet local needs, building equitable and strong communities.Our ValuesLocal – for us charity really does start at home, and that’s Cornwall and The Isles of Scilly.Open – we’re an inclusive and adaptable organisation, and believe in sharing, open communication and mutual trust.Connected – we believe in the power of working together.Independent – we are an independent charity rooted in the local community that we serve.Beneficial – we care deeply, and want to enable positive change within our local community.We have the expertise and local knowledge to help donors support local causes and charities they care about, enabling them to make an impact through their giving.
