UK Community Foundations
UK Community Foundations (UKCF) is a registered charity that leads a movement of community foundations committed to positive social change in the UK through the development of “community philanthropy”. Community philanthropy involves people from all parts of a community working together locally to use the financial and other resources available to them to improve others’ lives.〔George Hepburn OBE, ("The future of community philanthropy: More than pantomimes and football shirts" ), "Philanthropy UK", September 2007〕
Previously Community Foundation Network, in February 2013 CFN relaunched as UK Community Foundations, with a renewed commitment to build thriving communities in the UK. UKCF also has a role as national membership association for community foundations which encompasses negotiating and managing national grant-making and funding opportunities on behalf of its members and providing direct technical assistance to member community foundations through its network. As a membership organisation its work is governed and directed by a board drawn from its members.
With £500m in endowed funds and providing £65m in grants in 2013-14, community foundations manage funds donated by both individuals and organisations, while creating endowments and connecting donors to local needs.〔("The Philanthropy Directory" ), "Philanthropy UK", Retrieved December 23, 2010〕
==Community foundations==
Community foundations are independent registered philanthropic institutions serving geographically defined territory. They act as grant-making foundations, giving grants to support development projects. Their mission is to improve the quality of life in a community. They are supported by a broad range of private as well as public donors and seek philanthropic contributions primarily from inside the community. They are governed by local boards and build capital endowment with the aim to ensure funding capability in perpetuity.〔(About us ) at communityfoundations.org.uk〕
