Wiltshire & Swindon Community Foundation is an independent charity dedicated to tackling disadvantage and strengthening local communities by inspiring local philanthropy, connecting people and resources, and supporting the voluntary sector.

2025 is an exciting time for our organisation, as we celebrate our 50th anniversary. Set up in 1975 in Swindon, initially as the Thamesdown Community Trust, we merged with Wiltshire Community Trust in 1991 and became Wiltshire & Swindon Community Foundation. We are proud to be the oldest Community Foundation in the UK and Europe, striving to change lives by connecting people who care with causes that matter.

We are one of the largest grant-giving organisations in Wiltshire and Swindon. Each year we award around than £2.5 million through hundreds of grants to grassroots voluntary and community groups to enable more local people to thrive. We also support young people to improve their development, education, and future employment through our education grants programmes.
