County Of Gloucestershire Community Foundation focuses on strengthening communities across Gloucestershire through place-based grants, partnership funding, and practical support for local nonprofits. Its portfolio emphasizes basic needs, poverty relief, youth and family wellbeing, older people, disability inclusion, and targeted health initiatives such as cancer awareness and neurodiversity support. The foundation also stands out for its capacity-building work, using mentoring and pro-bono support to help grassroots charities become more resilient and sustainable.
Gives mostly small-to-moderate local grants across Gloucestershire, alongside occasional larger single-award or partnership-funded programmes. Many opportunities are round-based with specific deadlines, some are invitation-only or have no unsolicited proposals, and several programmes are tightly targeted to defined community needs.
