Leaving us a gift in your Will is a wonderful way to make a lasting difference to your local community for generations to come. At Cheshire Community Foundation, we take our responsibility to fulfil the wishes of our donors, both in their lifetime and through their legacy gifts, very seriously.
We are experts in grant-making, trusted by funders such as National Lottery, Comic Relief and the Nationwide Building Society to distribute funds locally in Cheshire and Warrington. We would bring this same level of experience and care to administering your legacy, ensuring that, despite an everchanging charitable landscape, your gift has the greatest impact on the local issues that matter most to you.

We recognise that for many trustees there is a real sense of pride and honour in accomplishing the wishes and intentions of the founder or benefactor, and we would never wish to undermine the satisfaction and joy that fulfilling this responsibility can bring.

But we also know that there are many reasons why a charitable trust might struggle to deliver its charitable objectives, despite the best efforts and hard work of the trustees.

Let us help. 

We can provide a range of solutions from managing the funds within the Trust, assisting with grant making to taking over a trust completely.  Our professional skills and local expertise means that we can identify current social need and often find beneficiaries and causes that provide the twenty first century equivalent of the issues the original trust was set up to tackle, securing funding for the long-term benefit of local communities, just as was originally intended.

Our donor advised funds are a smart alternative to setting up a private foundation. Clients get all the benefits of charitable giving without any of the administrative burden. They benefit from our expertise which ensures a real local impact from every penny. Set up is quick and easy, fees are low, ad our personal service means donors and their advisors feel their donations match their values. 

A fund can be named as you wish, and what better way to reflect a person's values than to fund their passions in the community? Whether a client is giving in their lifetime, giving through their will, or the gift is a way to remember another, we are here to help. Contact us to find out more. 

A fund can be created with us at short notice, but not immediately spent, giving your client time to reflect on their values and intentions for the fund long term. We take time to review grant applications, complete due diligence and assess the predicted impact, before matching each project with a donor. This thorough process often gives a client breathing space to consider their values and intentions for their donation, to ensure they give with integrity.
