Its aim is to bring about positive social change, to help Londoners facing disadvantage.
It specialises in funding small and medium-sized community-based projects that do not attract mass public support.
The London Community Foundation’s work is funded by individual philanthropists, companies, trusts, central and local government, social enterprises such as housing groups, and clinical commissioning groups.
[4] It also works with The London Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) to give out funding to benefit victims of crime across London,[5] and with Comic Relief to distribute funds raised through Red Nose Day and Sport Relief.
In addition to supporting beneficiary groups through a guided grant application and assessment process, The London Community Foundation delivers capacity-building work[6] to help community groups to sustain and grow their operations in the long term.
