Aims and activities

Gloucestershire Funders is an informal group of charitable and public sector funders committed to working together in a joined up, flexible and swift way to benefit Gloucestershire charities, people and groups.

Gloucestershire Funders was started as an immediate response at the start of the Covid pandemic to respond to the financial crisis affecting many charities, community groups and organisations.  We got positive feedback from applicants, and have found the sharing of information between us so valuable that we have decided to keep it going.

We aim to provide one point of access to sources of financial support for Gloucestershire charities and groups. We want to reduce the number of applications that those charities and groups have to make, allowing them to sustain the huge range of support, services and projects that they provide to improve life for people across Gloucestershire. Sometimes funders are able to collaborate and joint fund an application. The discussions at the Gloucestershire Funders enable us to make the most of this possibility.

How to get involved

Barnwood Trust currently acts as the central point of contact for the Gloucestershire Funders. If you make grants in Gloucestershire and are interested in working with us, please contact the Barnwood team.
