Rothschild Foundation launches new grants programme to help local communities
The Rothschild Foundation has launched a new grants programme to help local communities recover from the impacts of the pandemic.
The ‘Community Fund’ is focused specifically on helping Buckinghamshire communities and organisations, and aims to support organisations that combat disadvantage and inequality, including those that offer resources to address homelessness, financial hardship, social welfare, physical and learning disabilities, mental health and other areas.
Leona Forsyth, interim Head of Grants at the Rothschild Foundation, said, ‘We’re excited to launch The Community Fund, as we know it will provide crucial support to some of the wonderful organisations that are helping communities in Buckinghamshire recover after an incredibly difficult 18 months. We hope the Community Fund will help build on local assets and encourage collaboration between local organisations, charities and groups, to ensure the greatest outcome for Buckinghamshire residents.’
