Evening Hill Grassroots Grants

The Evening Hill Fund was established in 2009 with a donation of £25,000 by an anonymous couple from Cumbria. The fund aims to create better and stronger communities by supporting charitable projects focused on two key populations. The fund benefits young people aged 16-25 years old and works to improve older people's quality of life, particularly in rural areas of Cumbria. The Foundation fosters community empowerment through community-focused philanthropy, enabling local projects to improve quality of life by financially supporting the organizations that provide services to these populations. The donors wanted to help Cumbrians realize that local projects can make a meaningful difference, offering support to youth programs, social activities, and services for older residents in rural communities.
