By making a donation you are ensuring your generosity will make a real difference to people in Gloucestershire. Many people and organisations would like to respond to different needs in their local community, but don’t always have the time or expertise to do this.
Without specialist knowledge it can be difficult to find out about the many local charities and voluntary groups doing worthwhile work in the area. It is often hard to know if your charitable giving is reaching the most deserving causes and being put to the best use.
There is a simple solution – support local causes through the Gloucestershire Community Foundation.
We work with donors to help them give to their local community in a convenient, effective and rewarding way.
We have demonstrated a substantial need in the county to overcome disadvantage.
We have demonstrated a detailed understanding of those local needs.
We can only meet the county needs through a major increase in our capital pool.
The Foundation was fortunate to be given a fundraising challenge by the Hitchins Family who pledged £1 million over three years and challenged the foundation to match this. We are delighted that the Foundation has been able to draw down the Hitchins Family Trust and their generosity mean many more grant applications can be met.
