Durham Community Foundation </b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:18pt;line-height:150%">Established in 1995, County Durham
Community Foundation is an independent grant-making charity who promote lasting
charitable giving, by bringing together donors with their chosen causes, acting
as a vehicle for individuals, families and companies who want to put something
back into their local community, either in their lifetime, or through leaving a
legacy.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:18pt;line-height:150%">Since 1995, County Durham Community
Foundation has made grants of almost £30 million to groups and individuals
across County Durham & Darlington on behalf of its donors. The Community
Foundation currently manages around 200 funds which are all unique and tailor-made
to suit the donor, similar to having a charitable trust but without the legal
and administrative costs. </p>
