Between 2002-2006, we supported the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Community Foundation (HIWCF) to establish itself . Over the years we have continued to work closely together and provide insight and advice.

HIWCF is the largest grant maker to specialise in awarding grants across Hampshire.

Recently we completed a grant review of HIWCF’s Covid-19 funding to inform their future funding priorities and strategy. Also, until they recently decided to work completely remotely, we hosted them at our Winchester offices.

Up to March 2020, they had awarded over £11 million in grants to over 4,000 projects in the region.

During the pandemic, they distributed over £2 million for Covid-19 specific programming, reaching 350,000 people across Hampshire & IoW, supporting over 400 community groups and charities to keep going through the pandemic.
