Community Foundation Partnerships
Prospectus is proud to partner with UK Community Foundations (UKCF) providing advice, guidance and expertise to UKCF and their members on recruiting and retaining diverse and talented team members.
UKCF is the membership body for 47 accredited community foundations which collectively cover every postcode of the UK, including in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Community foundations are independent champions, inspiring place-based philanthropy by advising individuals and organisations who want to give back to their communities for both now and the long term. An accredited community foundation provides expert philanthropy advice using local insights, connects donors with local grassroots organisations and supports communities in addressing local issues and inequalities with tailored funding.
