Quartet Community Foundation is a place-based community foundation focused on directing philanthropy across the West of England to build stronger, fairer, and more resilient local communities. Its grants are typically small to medium, practical, and community-rooted, supporting youth, local wellbeing, community transport, social action, and environmental or fuel-poverty projects, often through accessible open-call programmes. It also works collaboratively with local authorities, utilities, universities, and VCSE partners, suggesting a strong emphasis on local networks, learning, and targeted support for disadvantaged neighbourhoods.
Primarily local, open-call grantmaking through a mix of rapid-response and themed programmes; grants are generally designed to be accessible to grassroots charities and community groups, with some place-specific or partner-funded funds and occasional collaboration with public-sector and corporate partners. Funding appears to be ongoing rather than one-off, with programmes opening and closing by theme and geography.
