Eleri Phillips Adams

Before joining Community Foundation Wales in March 2025, I worked with a number of Wales’ leading organisations, including Amgueddfa Cymru – Museum Wales, RSPB Cymru, Arts & Business Cymru, and Arts Council of Wales. Over the years, I’ve led national campaigns and built meaningful connections that help organisations tell their stories in a way that feels true to their values.

I’ve worked behind the scenes to strengthen brands, improve communication both internally and externally, and ensure messages are clear and connect with the right audience. I’m passionate about working with stakeholders, government, and communities to develop new ideas and projects that make a real impact – partnership working is key in my opinion!

I focus on increasing the visibility of Community Foundation Wales and showcasing the fantastic work happening across Welsh communities. I lead the development of our communication and marketing strategy, help shape our brand, and manage content creation that highlights the inspiring stories of the people and projects we support. Through strategic marketing and communications, I also help amplify partnerships with donors and funders, enabling us to extend our reach. This highlights the vital work of Welsh communities and the generous individuals and organisations that make it all possible.

The many stories of Community Foundation Wales, and how we can work together to bring these to life. I love working strategically, finding creative ways to amplify voices and make a lasting difference.

What’s not to love about Wales?! It will always have my heart. I mean, our landscapes and Welsh cakes are something else, and we’ve got a fire-breathing dragon as our emblem! But what really makes Wales special to me is the people. Our close-knit communities, our warm croeso, and the pride we take in being Welsh. There’s always something that makes you feel like you belong, it’s home.
