Delivering social value where it matters most
Creating a fund with Two Ridings Community Foundation is a meaningful and effective way to invest in the communities connected to your business.
Whether you’re focused on supporting young people, improving wellbeing, tackling inequality, protecting the environment or strengthening a particular place, we’ll help you turn your social value and ESG ambitions into meaningful local action.
Community investment shaped around your priorities
Every fund starts with a conversation.
We’ll take the time to understand your business, your values and the impact you’d like to have in the communities connected to your organisation. Whether you’re looking to support a particular area, champion a specific cause or develop a long-term community benefit fund, we’ll help design an approach that aligns with your goals.
Whether you’re a local family business, a growing company or a larger organisation with established ESG commitments, we can help you create a fund that meets your objectives. From annual charitable giving and long-term community investment programmes to endowments and community benefit funding linked to development projects, we’ll design an approach that works for your business and the communities you want to support.
You can be as involved as you choose, from helping shape funding priorities to leaving the grant-making process in our hands.
Local charitable giving with lasting impact
Unlike supporting a single charity, a fund with Two Ridings gives you the flexibility to respond to changing local needs over time.
As the community foundation for North and East Yorkshire, we understand the challenges and opportunities facing our communities and know the organisations best placed to make a difference. We use that local knowledge to ensure funding reaches where it can have the greatest effect.
We’ll manage the governance, administration, due diligence and grant-making, leaving you free to focus on the impact you want your giving to achieve.
Demonstrate your impact
We know that businesses want to understand the difference they’re making.
That’s why we provide clear reporting and insight, helping you demonstrate social value, ESG outcomes and community impact to colleagues, customers, stakeholders and investors.
Whenever possible, we’ll also connect you with the charities and community groups benefiting from your support, bringing your investment in the community to life.
Let's start the conversation
If you’re thinking about creating a charitable fund for your business, we’d love to hear about your ambitions and explore how we can help you make a lasting difference across Yorkshire.
