Building a Better Future for Bermuda

The Bermuda Foundation supports donors to develop their philanthropic vision. Through GiveBermuda.org, donors can make charitable contributions to nonprofits tackling issues they care about.

Established in early 2013 as a company limited by guarantee with charitable and philanthropic objects, the Foundation – Bermuda's community foundation – is a registered charity (948). It is a grant-making organisation and steward of funds that have been established by individuals, families, and businesses to:

Establish a permanent asset base for public benefit, in the form of an endowment
Pool, steward and deploy donations from a variety of donors
Facilitate grants from donors with a connection to Bermuda to nonprofits, causes, and public institutions that serve the Island’s residents.

Over time, we hope that seeing the collective impact of one-off and spontaneous donations will inspire donors to create a fund to support the causes most important to them in the long term, including the development and support for the infrastructure that supports the growth of philanthropy.

The BCF has been awarded top marks for its performance by the United Kingdom’s highest standard for philanthropic excellence, UKCF Quality Accreditation Programme (QA3). The program establishes legal, ethical, and effective practices for community foundations everywhere.
