Registered charity County Durham Foundation
is the ideal vehicle for people who are looking to
put something back into the communities in which they
have lived and worked. Unlike other charities, we
have the flexibility to support a wide range of good
causes from children to the elderly, from the arts
to the environment. Uniquely, we look to match the
interests of our supporters with the needs of the
community, and to offer donors a say in how their
gift is used.
Our long-term endowment funds are perfect for legacies,
as they guarantee how
the money will be used. Support is given each year
in the name of the fund and we manage all investment,
accounting and legal requirements. This is the easiest,
most effective way to ensure that your clients charitable
bequests will support future generations. # Bernard Robinson
