We’re Greater Manchester’s Community Foundation, the only charity that raises money to fund and support community activity across Greater Manchester.
Since Forever Manchester was established in 1989 we have delivered over £65 million into local communities, supporting over 1,300 community projects in Greater Manchester each year.
But to do all this great stuff we need to raise money. So whether you are a company or individual, your generosity can create something special right across Greater Manchester, keeping it great.
