Clare Davies

I joined the Community Foundation Wales in January 2020 after graduating from Swansea University in History and Social Policy.

Studying social policy for three years enabled me to gain the knowledge and understanding of social and economic issues facing Wales, whether that being in large cities or smaller rural areas, and the measures put in place to combat these problems.

I am a member of the Grant’s Team which is responsible for running of grants programmes and distributing of grants over £2 million to projects and charities in Wales each year. Additionally, I analyse the impact of our grants we have funded and the needs in Wales, so our funds provide the greatest support for the people in Wales.

Anything grants related including projects you would like funding for, ways to improve your application and our funds.

I was born and brought up in a small rural village on the outskirts of Cardiff and all of my family were brought up in Swansea.

I love the freedom of living in the countryside but only a short drive to the beach or the Capital.
