The Scantlebury Challenge

Matched giving - philanthropy donations

We are excited to launch a new 50% matched giving initiative, thanks to a generous £1 million donation from the Scantlebury Estate and its executors. Put simply, for every £2 you donate, an additional £1 will be added (while funds last).

How it works

Already a fund holder?

Top up your endowment fund between £10,000 and £100,000 and we will match it with an extra 50%.

New to Quartet?

We will match any donation between £25,000 and £200,000 with an extra 50% to set up your endowment fund. You can make a pledge now to secure the matched funding as long as your gift is donated before 31st March 2027.

Supporting local communities

With strong ties throughout the West of England, we have exceptional insight into the needs of our local communities. The Scantlebury Challenge aims to support small, local organisations dedicated to assisting those facing inequality and disadvantage within their communities. You have complete flexibility in determining your level of involvement when making grants from your fund.

Making a difference

For small charitable groups, sustained and modest funding can make a significant impact. Like The Family Centre (Deaf Children) who received a grant of £985 to support families living with hearing loss through outdoor activities and sports.

“For our Deaf 2 year old, it provided a chance to run about and have fun with lots of other kids – some wearing hearing tech, some not; some Deaf, some not; some signing, some not. It makes everything so normal, and this is so important for his Deaf identity because he’s very conscious.” Parent, The Family Centre (Deaf Children)
