Give to your Surrey community

We understand that giving to your community is a very individual decision.
There are many different reasons why people and businesses choose to support charitable causes.
For some, giving to the Surrey community could be a result of their own life experiences,
for others it may be a sense of duty to give something back.

At the Community Foundation for Surrey, we harness our expertise in philanthropy and grant making to maximise our impact within the Surrey community.

Through our deep understanding of local needs and challenges, we strategically allocate resources to initiatives and projects that have the most impact. By collaborating with donors, charitable organisations,
and community stakeholders, we ensure that our efforts are targeted, sustainable, and effectively address the diverse needs of Surrey residents.

Together, we work towards building a stronger, more vibrant Surrey for all.
