We offer all the pleasure of giving without any of the hassle. We champion small groups and organisations, going out of our way to find local charities, community groups and voluntary organisations that need support. We guide them through our various funds in order to help them achieve their aims, which are in the main to improve quality of life for the people of Kent. Kent Community Foundation is seven years old this year.

A huge thank you goes to all those who have given and continue to give us their support. It is because of such people and organisations that in our seventh year alone we will be able to distribute close to £2.6 million and our donors 'endowed' funds have grown to in excess of £1.3 million
