We help people and businesses give with purpose - funding hundreds of community groups across York & North Yorkshire, Hull & East Yorkshire every year

Together with generous supporters, we strengthen communities, tackle inequality, and create opportunities where they’re needed most.

Since 2000, we’ve awarded over £25m in grants, supporting the people and places driving real change across our region so everyone can flourish.

If you want your giving to create lasting impact close to home, Two Ridings is your trusted route.

Start your giving

Be the difference in your region

Support the Yorkshire communities you care about with the help of an experienced foundation team.

Give in the way that suits you – through your own fund, setting up a legacy, or focus your giving in a place or around an issue close to your heart.

Your giving creates a powerful ripple effect – one act of generosity supports many community groups, helping everyone to flourish.

We’ll help you understand the impact your giving has, today and for future generations.

Communities where everyone can flourish

Our new 5-year plan is a hopeful community-led roadmap for the future. It focuses on the issues people say matter most, and works around three priorities

This strategy strengthens what works, supports what needs to grow, and invests in the conditions for everyone to flourish.
