NCF featured in national plan to grow place‑based philanthropy
Northamptonshire Community Foundation is featured in a new Government plan focused on place‑based philanthropy
The Department for Culture, Media and Sport has launched its ‘Our place to give’ plan, setting out a long‑term ambition to grow place‑based philanthropy across the UK.
We’re proud that Northamptonshire Community Foundation (NCF) is featured in the plan, recognising our role in connecting local generosity with local priorities, and showing how philanthropy rooted in place can help strengthen communities and expand opportunity.
Rachel McGrath, Chief Executive, Northamptonshire Community Foundation, said: “This national commitment to place-based philanthropy is both timely and significant. In Northamptonshire, we see the tangible impact of local giving every day – strengthening communities, expanding opportunity, and changing lives. By deepening the connection between donors and place, and by working in strong partnership across sectors, we can unlock greater investment in our county’s future, build community resilience, and ensure support reaches those who need it most now and for the next generation.”
