Huddersfield Town Foundation is a charity registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales (charity number 1146501).

The Huddersfield Town Foundation exists to tackle the consequences of inequality by providing positive opportunities and support to the community of Kirklees. It uses football and local partnerships to create opportunities, reduce inequalities and support people across Kirklees, and its long-term strategy is built around three core pillars: Grow, Thrive and Belong. All its programmes aim to tackle at least one of four impact areas: Learning & Education, Health & Healthy Behaviours, Safe Spaces & Places, and Movement & Activity.
