The 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, so they founded the Cornwall Independent Trust. In 2003 the Trust became the Cornwall Community Foundation (CCF), 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.
