Giving as individual or a family
Many people want to make a difference in their local area but aren’t always sure where to start.
At Two Ridings, we make giving simple, personal and impactful. For over 25 years, we’ve helped individuals and families across York and North Yorkshire, and Hull and East Yorkshire, give in ways that reflect what matters most to them.
Whether you’d like to support a local appeal or community fund, set up your own fund, leave a gift in your will or simply explore your options, we’ll help you find the right approach. We’ll take the time to understand what matters to you, help you choose how you’d like to give and support you in deciding how involved you’d like to be.
From hands-on philanthropy to giving quietly behind the scenes, there’s no right or wrong way to make a difference. We take care of the practicalities, including administration and grant-making, while keeping you updated on the difference your generosity is making.

Donate
Donating to one of our appeals or community funds is one of the simplest ways to make a difference.
Whether you choose a one-off gift or regular donation, every pound stays in York and North Yorkshire, and Hull and East Yorkshire, supporting local people and communities.
From local community funds – in Hull, York, Selby, Scarborough and Harrogate – to seasonal appeals like Winter Resilience, your gift helps where it’s needed most.
If you’re a UK taxpayer, Gift Aid increases the value of your donation by 25% at no extra cost.

Setting up a fund is a meaningful way to support the people, places and causes that matter most to you.
Whether there’s a community you feel connected to, an issue close to your heart, or a cause you want to champion for years to come, your fund can reflect what you care about and the difference you want to create.
You choose how involved you’d like to be. Some people enjoy being closely involved in deciding where grants are awarded, while others prefer to leave the details to us.
A fund with Two Ridings works much like having your own charitable trust, with our experienced team providing the expertise, support and hands-on management to bring your giving to life. We take care of the administration, grant-making and ongoing details, so you can enjoy the experience of giving and see the difference your generosity makes.
If you’d like to explore what’s possible, we’d love to help you create something lasting for your community.
Setting up a fundLeave a Legacy
Leaving a legacy is one of the most enduring ways to support the place you love and issues you can about.
You can start giving during your lifetime or leave a gift in your will. Whether that’s giving children and young people the best start in life, protecting the environment, or helping people through difficult times, we’ll ensure your generosity benefits Yorkshire people and communities for generations to come.
We can also talk to you about tax-efficient ways to give, including gifts made through your estate.
