Fund for Wales - Community Foundation Wales
The Fund for Wales is a national community endowment fund, managed and promoted by Community Foundation Wales. It is a philanthropy promotion and grant-making programme which raises money from people and organisations across Wales, the UK, and overseas who want to ‘give back’ to support and strengthen local communities: the Fund for Wales connects people who care with causes that matter. The fund is currently supported through partnership with People’s Postcode Lottery.
