As the official charity of Hibernian Football Club, the Hibernian Community Foundation is tireless in its efforts to deliver support to the community surrounding Easter Road, Leith, and wider Edinburgh. This support comes in the form of over 50 hours of community programmes and activities a week, while delivering over 35 hours of community football a week on top.
To deliver these numbers HCF needs the help of supporters who donate, sponsor and partner with the aim of furthering community impact, and are incredibly grateful for such support.
Black Ivy: On HCF Matchday, the Black Ivy generously donated the warm-up shirts for Hibernian FC, with all members of the matchday squad wearing shirts adorning HCF’s logo. These shirts will shortly be made available for auction, with proceeds going to support our yearly programmes and activities.
Owen Gibb & Sons: Another warm-up shirt sponsor of Hibernian FC, Owen Gibb & Sons gave-up their sponsorship for HCF Matchday. These shirts will shortly be made available for auction, with proceeds going to support our yearly programmes and activities.

Hibs.net: A Principal Partner of the Hibernian Community Club, the best online forum for Hibs’ fans has been a long-term supporter of our grassroots football programmes: pledging over £40,000 in the last four years.

The Proclaimers: Joining Hibs.net as one of Hibernian Community Club’s Principal Partners, Leith’s favourite twins first pledged support to the girls programme in 2022.
