Two Ridings Community Foundation is a place-based UK community foundation focused on improving life in North and East Yorkshire through small, practical grants and locally managed funds. It supports grassroots charities and small community groups working on employability, poverty relief, children and young people, health and wellbeing, community cohesion, and local environmental or heritage projects. It is also notable for managing named donor funds and partnership funds, often acting as an intermediary for fundholders and local giving.
Primarily small grants ranging from a few hundred pounds up to about £15,000, with many programs targeted to specific geographies or eligible populations. Funding is often open through fund-specific application processes with published deadlines, and many grants can support project costs, capital items, and overheads; some programs are invite-only or tied to managed donor funds and partnerships.
