East London Community Foundation

East London Community Foundation is an independent registered charity covering London boroughs across East and North East London.

East London Community Foundation’s aim is to improve the quality of life of local people and of people living in London as a whole. We do this by encouraging local giving. Our focus is on building better and stronger communities for future generations.

We have two key roles:

We act to deliver services to local donors and people thinking of becoming donors, working with individuals, organisations and companies to establish and then manage a wide range of charitable funds.

We act as a bridge between donors and local good causes – local groups and voluntary sector charities ensuring that grants are used to address real needs, problems and issues.
For further information about our work please browse our site.  We welcome enquiries, so do get in touch by visiting our website
