The Guernsey Community Foundation is a charitable organisation dedicated to improving the quality of life in the Bailiwick, especially for those most in need.
We work with the charitable sector, local businesses, and the States of Guernsey. We give grants, conduct research, propose changes to social policy, and more.
We want to help create an inclusive and caring community in which a strong and committed charitable sector works effectively with government and business.
