Community Foundation for Merseyside

Community Foundation for Merseyside is part of a national network of community foundations and the largest grantmaker in Merseyside.

The Community Foundation provides grants to local voluntary and community groups to help them build a stronger Merseyside and tackle modern social issues. Each year we distribute over £5 million in grants to nearly 1,000 community projects on behalf of around 60 partners and donors. Grants are linked to various themes such as the environment, health and tackling anti-social behaviour.
