GiveBradford distributes vital grants and gives trusted advice to Community Organisations across the District to influence positive change. Driven by creating meaningful social impact for hundreds of local people every year. GiveBradford generates philanthropic giving and leverages statutory funding to deliver grants that address specific challenges. This opens up vulnerable and often marginalised communities to a wealth of opportunities including skills, health, education, culture and employment. Our work goes beyond funding alone as it also provides resources that voluntary groups and charities would otherwise struggle to access. As an organisation focused on creating a fair and inclusive society, GiveBradford works alongside each group to address inequalities and create opportunities. There is now a new governance model for GiveBradford’s work across the district, that sees it having independent charitable status and its own local trustees. Leeds Community Foundation is sole member of Bradford District Community Foundation (BDCF). This means it can provide support and resources to BDCF and ensure that activity across West Yorkshire benefits from existing relationships and achieves economies of scale for the benefit of both cities under the GiveBradford banner.
