Nottinghamshire Community Foundation
We cover: Ashfield
Nottinghamshire Community Foundation is an independent charity, set up to encourage philanthropy for the benefit of the people in Nottinghamshire. Their unique approach to philanthropy allows individuals and businesses to support their own specific local interests and causes and in doing so invest in the future of their community.
The foundation acts as a “broker” between people who care about their local community and the wide range of voluntary organisations, community groups and local charities who do the hands-on work to make a real difference in the Ashfeild area.
Nottinghamshire Community Foundation was launched on 20th March 2001 and is part of a rapidly growing network of 56 Community Foundations which has been active in the UK since the 1980’s.
NCF is committed to improving the quality of life of the people of Nottingham and Nottinghamshire by raising and managing funds for distribution in response to local needs.
