INSPIRING IMPACTFUL PHILANTHROPY
Community partnerships are key to achieving our goals, fostering long-term relationships helps us achieve meaningful impact and transforms lives.
We match donors with causes they care about, managing and distributing funds that get money to where it really matters.
We connect people with communities, deploying our knowledge of the local charitable landscape, and the social sector, to allocate grants where they will achieve maximum impact. We work with charities, social enterprises and community interest companies across Gloucestershire to improve people’s lives. Our advice helps donors to make informed decisions when it comes to which causes to support within your local area.
If you want to be more flexible with your giving or are unsure how to set up a fund to benefit your local community, we can help.
Inspiring local philanthropy: we provide help and advice to those who want to give at the heart of their communities, both now and in the long-term.
