The Milton Keynes Community Foundation manages and distributes charitable funds on behalf of individuals, families, companies, and charitable trusts to meet the needs of people living in the area.  To support this effort, we appointed Alexander Boswell in 2007 (a former High Sheriff of Buckinghamshire) as our first President .  Alexander, together with our Vice Presidents supports our Philanthropy Programme and will help us identify and work with donors to increase funds for our grant-making programme.
