The London Community Foundation

We help you make a difference to London, where it matters most. We have raised £127m since 2010 to be distributed as grants to local, specialist organisations in London.

London is the greatest city in the world. But London is a polarised city, of extreme inequality, of haves and have-nots. It is a city with the country’s greatest wealth, but also the worst deprivation, where people struggle just to get by.

And London is a city where ordinary but remarkable people are rising to those challenges, every day, and making change happen. 

We believe in the vital role local community organisations and their leaders play in seeing that change take place. People who often have personal experience of the challenges they are helping their communities overcome. We believe in listening, and trusting people to know what their challenges are.

We also believe in the generosity and solidarity of Londoners, wanting to make a difference to where they live and work. People like you who want to see London change for the better.

We champion local organisations, channeling the funds we raise to their work, and supporting them directly to be stronger.

Leaving a gift in your Will, whatever the size, can make a huge difference to local community organisations across London. A lasting legacy that will help realise a fairer, more equitable city. Your gift will go even further thanks to experience and knowledge of The London Community Foundation and our connections to grassroots charities and organisations across the capital.
