Generous companies and individuals have stepped forward to support Northamptonshire Community Foundation in its bid to raise more than £1.2 million for community groups and projects in the county.
In July 2008 the Foundation won the Government’s Grassroots Grants competition to distribute a new pot of funding to county community groups and also benefit from match funding, which will build this £2.2 million endowment for the benefit of groups in need now and for generations to come.
The Foundation is proud to announce £1.4 million of this target has already been raised, showing our commitment to improving the lives of everyone in Northamptonshire.
In April 2011 the matched funding will come to an end, there is still more in the pot so if you wish to have a real lasting impact on your county now is the time to do it.
In the light of this win many local companies signed up to become Friends of the Foundation and their donation has been matched pound for pound by the Government. A generous early donation was also been made by Lord Northampton.
