We inspire people to give, help Yorkshire communities to thrive, and change lives together

Since 2000, we have awarded over £24m in grants to grassroots community groups and charities to strengthen communities across Yorkshire.

Working with generous supporters our grants and support reach the people most in need and help to create equality and opportunity in Yorkshire communities.

If you want to give locally and effectively in North & East Yorkshire, Hull and York, give through Two Ridings Community Foundation.
