Raising funds to help those most in need

Dorset Community Foundation connects local people to local causes. We help build thriving communities by working with donors across Dorset to provide local knowledge and targeted support.

We help people give back to Dorset to improve the lives of others. Many people in our county face disadvantage – some live in areas that are among some of the poorest in the UK, while others struggle with mental health issues, loneliness, disability or discrimination.

Our expertise inspires donors to give to those most in need and, because of the partnerships we form, communities in Dorset have benefitted from almost £14 million of grants since 2000.

We’ve created a quick and easy guide that explains who we are and what we do. You can download it here.
