The Cambridge & North Dumfries Community Foundation is available to anyone who would like to give something back to the community, and create a legacy to support the causes they care about. Donations are pooled into an ever-growing, permanent endowment fund and only the earnings generated through its investment are distributed as grants. Donors can be confident that a gift to the Community Foundation, no matter how small or in what form, is a gift that will continue to give for many years to come – in fact, forever.
