Cornwall Community Foundation Achieves UKCF Quality Accreditation

We are proud to share that Cornwall Community Foundation has successfully met the standards for the sixth round of the UK Community Foundations (UKCF) Quality Accreditation.

The Quality Accreditation is a mark of excellence for community foundations across the UK. It assesses foundations against a rigorous framework that covers governance, finance, philanthropy, grant-making, and community engagement. By achieving this accreditation, CCF have demonstrated their commitment to best practice and the highest standards of delivery.

In a letter confirming the result, Emma de Closset, Chief Executive of UKCF, wrote:

“We appreciate your efforts to fully engage with this process […] Quality Accreditation defines the core standards that guide the unique work of community foundations, ensuring consistency and credibility across the UKCF network. The robust framework provides assurance to external stakeholders, potential partners, and strategic investors that every member of the network operates to a high standard.”

We are incredibly grateful to our team for their dedication throughout the process and to our community of partners, donors, and grantees who make our work possible. This accreditation affirms our ongoing mission to connect people who care with causes that matter across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.
