Gloucestershire Community Foundation (GCF) was established in 1989 to support grassroots projects and communities in Gloucestershire.  We inspire philanthropy in Gloucestershire and receive donations from individuals, foundations, corporations and the general public.

Our vision is for Gloucestershire to be a place where people and communities are empowered to become resilient and strong.  Our mission is to strengthen our communities so they can thrive, through inspiring giving, providing grant funding and developing partnerships.

We raise funds through important campaigns such as our year round Poverty Hurts appeal and deliver funds on behalf of individuals, companies and organisations, receiving donations that go straight to the charities we serve. Currently we manage 50 different funds and in the last five years have provided more than £3.5 million in grant funding via more than 1,000 grants to 450 different community groups in Gloucestershire.
