With our expert knowledge of communities in Wales we can match your giving with causes you are passionate about, ensuring you have maximum impact in the areas you care most about.
How we can work with you
By joining us you are part of a movement that is connecting philanthropists and generous people across Wales with their communities to bring about positive change.
We can work with you to match your giving with causes you are passionate about, ensuring you have maximum impact in the areas you care most about.
We can:
- Work with you to define what is important to you and decide whether you would like to give across a broad range of causes or focus on a specific issue or geographic area.
- Help you decide between having an instant impact and making a long term commitment and develop a charitable giving plan accordingly.
- Use our expert knowledge of the voluntary sector to find the projects that match your interests.
- Involve you in funding decisions Arrange regular projects visits so you can see for yourself the difference your giving is making.
- Measure the impact of your giving by providing regular updates of each funded project and a wider report at the end of each funding cycle.
Your donation counts, whether it is £5 or £50,000 or beyond. We will make sure that you are with us on the journey to see the impact of your support.
Creating a donor-advised fund
Giving money to a charity sounds like an easy thing to do but, with over 30,000 registered charities and thousands more community groups in Wales, it can be hard to know where to begin and who to give it to.
This is where Community Foundation Wales can help.
Giving through us will allow you to focus on how and where you want to give.
Whether you want to donate funds for an immediate impact or establish a long-term legacy, setting up a donor-advised fund will help you to channel your giving to what really matters to you and create sustainable change.
A donor-advised fund is an alternative to establishing a charitable trust, offering the benefits of a private trust without the burden of governance, due diligence and financial reporting.
With advice from our experts in finance, charitable giving and grant management you can create a donor-advised fund that gives you a tailored structure to support your giving. This approach will ensure that your philanthropy is personally shaped to what matters to you.
We are able to offer this option for fund levels above £50,000.
