About
Us
Welcome to Cornwall Community Foundation
Cornwall Community Foundation is the charity committed to supporting local projects in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly that engage local people in making their communities better places to live.
Individuals, families, local companies and public bodies make this possible by donating and setting up funds with us. We fulfil their wishes by ensuring that the right projects that really need their support are chosen, with as much involvement from them in the decision making as they wish.
The foundation is governed by an independent board and enjoys the patronage of HRH the Duchess of Cornwall.
