About Us

What is the Drake Foundation? 
We are a local community charity, covering the Plymouth travel to work area. We support small voluntary and community groups by providing grants to help their cause.

We help companies and individuals who want to give something back to their community by supporting a wide range of local causes.  

We aim to build a £5m endowment fund to provide a permanent source of support for local people. Donations we receive will be invested and the income generated will be used to provide lasting support to charity and community projects in and around the Plymouth city area.

Our Mission:
“To build and manage with care, sympathy and enthusiasm a charitable trust for the benefit of the people of the Plymouth City region.” 

Purpose:

1. The local charity of charities, without overheads so every penny contributed goes to good causes. 

2. Supporting community projects and charities in the Plymouth city region.

3. Helping individuals and businesses in making a lasting difference to their community.
