Acorn Funds

Acorn funds allow you to build up a charitable fund at the Community Foundation over a number of years. You make regular contributions and gain charitable tax benefits from those donations. The annual income from your Acorn Fund will be reinvested to grow the value of your fund until you reach £25000 and yur endowment becomes a named charitable fund.

You can choose the name of your fund - after yourself, a family member you wish to remember or the cause or area it will support.

The best part is that by growing an Acorn Fund, the causes that you care about wil receive support from your fund generation after generation - so plant an acorn today!

If you would like to discuss an Acorn Fund, please telephone Maria or Pauline on 0114 2424857.
