The Community Foundations for Lancashire and Merseyside (CFLM) help individuals and organisations give to causes that matter to them, where there is most need and where it will have the greatest impact. CFLM enables charitable giving to charities and grass root community groups that provide critical and specialist support to the most vulnerable people in our communities.
As part of our bespoke service, we spend time understanding our donors’ charitable aims and provide advice to direct their giving using research and experience of community need, ensuring funds achieve maximum impact.
We are part of a network of 46 Community Foundations in the UK and over 1,800 worldwide. Community Foundations worldwide collaborate with families, high net worth individuals, businesses, charitable trusts and the public sector to fund community based solutions, creating social change and improving quality of life.
