Fund for Wales allows you to put your philanthropy behind charities and organisations with the local knowledge, ideas and ambition to create meaningful impact. Your support can help bring people together, create new opportunities locally and respond to the challenges that communities see around them.

What Fund for Wales has achieved since it was launched 2012 is only part of what we believe is possible. Through collaboration with the people and organisations who care about their communities, we can grow the Fund and extend its reach even further.

Philanthropy shaped around your priorities

Fund for Wales allows you to focus your philanthropy on the issues, places and communities that align with your priorities. You might want to create opportunities for young people, improve health and wellbeing, protect the environment, strengthen Welsh heritage and culture, or support a particular community.

The Fund is about building something together. Every person or organisation that gives becomes part of its story, adding to a fund that can grow and reach more communities. Your generosity becomes part of every grant we make, helping local organisations reach thousands of people and strengthen the places they call home.

A flexible way to give

You don’t need to establish your own fund to make your philanthropy personal. Whether there’s a place you feel connected to, a cause you care deeply about or a goal your organisation wants to achieve, we’ll work with you to shape your giving, drawing on decades of experience working with donors.

Invest for the long term

Your gift can become part of something that lasts. By adding your contribution to an established fund, responsibly invested by Community Foundation Wales, your donation has the potential to grow over time, with the returns providing an ongoing source of funding for grassroots organisations.

Connected to communities

We know that the people closest to a community often understand it best. Our long-standing relationships with grassroots organisations, together with our grant-making experience, mean we know what’s happening locally and where funding is most needed.

Understand your impact

Giving through Fund for Wales is about more than making a contribution. We take care of the due diligence, administration and grant-making, and can work with you to share tailored reporting, stories and opportunities to connect with funded projects, so you can understand what’s been made possible through your philanthropy.

Be part of Fund for Wales

Fund for Wales has been shaped by the generosity of many people and organisations over the years. The Fund was established through a National Lottery match-funding campaign, with early donations from the Moondance Foundation, the Waterloo Foundation and a number of individual donors. These contributions helped seed the Fund, shaping what it is today.

That generosity continues. We’re grateful to our individual donors and Welsh businesses including Tiny Rebel and Goodwash, alongside the continued support of the Postcode Lottery.

Whether you’d like to support Fund for Wales as a whole or shape your giving around a particular place, community or cause, our team can talk you through the options.
