Applying for a grant

Quartet Community Foundation (QCF) awards grants to support community based work that has a charitable purpose. Primarily grants are awarded to organisations based and working in the West of England to benefit local people and where a relatively small amount of funding can make a significant difference.  We award grants covering a broad range of issues and welcome applications from both new and established groups.

We would encourage you to read our Vital Signs social needs report before submitting an application. The report combines the latest research and survey data to present a concise analysis of social needs in our region. We hope it will stimulate discussion around how best to respond to the complex challenges faced by our local communities.

Before submitting an application, please read the ‘Essential Information’ section. If you are then happy to proceed you can browse the grant programmes we have available below.
