Welcome to Kent Community Foundation

Kent Community Foundation exists to strengthen and support the most vulnerable, isolated and disadvantaged people and communities in our county. We do this by connecting local people who care with local causes that matter. We are here to make it easy for local philanthropists - individuals, families or businesses - to Give to make a real difference in their own communities.

We also make it easy for community groups to Apply to us for those funds.

With the help of our generous philanthropists, Kent Community Foundation is building substantial permanent endowment funds. For the next three years we have the great benefit of the government's Community First Endowment Match to enhance those funds. These will provide lasting benefit for local communities in Kent and Medway today, and create a brighter future for generations to come.
