Hertfordshire Community Foundation (HCF) is an independent charity that encourages local giving to make Hertfordshire a better place to live, for everyone. Thanks to the support of our donors we provide grants to families in crisis, grassroots charities and voluntary groups, helping some of our county's most vulnerable residents. Over the past three decades HCF has funded thousands of local initiatives addressing complex social issues including domestic abuse, learning disabilities, bereavement, homelessness, mental health and many more.
