The Anson Charitable Trust, Heart of Bucks Community Foundation and Rothschild Foundation have partnered to tackle local poverty through the Buckinghamshire Capacity Fund.
The fund will award a single grant of at least £110,000 to a not-for-profit organisation that can contribute significantly to Buckinghamshire’s response to the rising costs of living for vulnerable, disadvantaged and insecure-income households.
Henry Allmand, CEO at Heart of Bucks said:
“As local grant-makers, we want to think global, and act local. We want to make a difference by working together, to tackle a challenging and deeply concerning area of focus within Buckinghamshire. Through the creation of this collective fund, we want to provide the local non-profit sector with additional resources to deliver a larger local safety net than would otherwise exist.”
