Funding Description
The Raynes Foundation's Creative, Confident Communities fund aims to strengthen community bonds, fostering vibrant and confident localities where individuals can realize their creative, human, and economic potential. By 2030, the foundation seeks to achieve three key impact goals: i) empowering communities to drive change, ii) improving local economies for residents, and iii) utilizing culture and creativity to build thriving communities. The foundation's priorities include promoting community collaboration, supporting community-driven enterprise and regeneration, and encouraging community-led art and creativity.
