Give to your community


We understand that giving to your community is a very individual decision. There are many different reasons why people and businesses choose to support charitable causes. For some, giving to your community could be a result of their own life experiences, for others it may be a sense of duty to give something back.

The Community Foundation for Surrey is an independent grant-making charity and the central platform for giving in the county, bringing together those in a position to give with those delivering local action.

We offer a range of giving options to enable local individuals, families, businesses and trusts to give to your community – to get their funds to the heart of the issues that matter most to them in a way that is both efficient and personalised.
