Forever Notts directs local giving to local good
Since 1997, the Community Foundation for Nottinghamshire, now called Forever Notts, has distributed £30 million in grants to thousands of charities and community groups across Nottingham city and Nottinghamshire county.
We work with individuals, families, businesses, and charitable trusts to fund grassroots organisations tackling the issues that matter most. From mental health to homelessness, poverty to isolation.
Local. We understand Nottinghamshire, from rural villages to inner-city neighbourhoods, and every pound we distribute stays here.
Trusted. Donors rely on our knowledge, networks, and experience to make their giving simple, meaningful, and effective.
Collaborative. We work alongside local families, businesses, and other charities to identify needs and fund solutions to strengthen our communities.
