Support your local community through your business
Businesses are an integral part of the communities in which they operate. Many wish to support their local communities but lack the resources to identify priority needs, communicate with local community groups, and manage large volumes of charity requests.
The CCF Business Club provides a complete solution for charitable giving, enabling businesses to work together to maximise impact and share best practice.
Since 2003, through the generosity of our supporters, we have awarded more than £20m in small grants across Cornwall and The Isles of Scilly
Here, you can find a way to support a Cornish community that’s aligned with your budget and philanthropic aims. We couldn’t do it without you.

“We have been members of the CCF Business Club for two years now and joined because we felt it the most effective way for our company to contribute to local charitable causes. We hugely value our membership – not only does it bring us together with like-minded businesses, but we get regular updates on the fantastic grass-roots community work the Business Club funds and a say in how the donation we make can best be put to use to support local causes.”
