Funding with Purpose.
For over 25 years, Kent Community Foundation has supported grassroots voluntary organisations across Kent and Medway. In that time, we’ve distributed more than £60 million, helping thousands of local charities and community groups where even a modest grant can make a life-changing difference.
We make a meaningful difference across Kent and Medway by:
Kent Community Foundation was established in 2001 under the leadership of our first Chairman, Simon MacLachlan of Sissinghurst. Inspired by a report from Greenwich University highlighting community needs - particularly child poverty - our early work was made possible thanks to generous support from Charities Aid Foundation and many others across Kent.
Since then, we’ve grown into a trusted partner for philanthropy in Kent and Medway.
