We work with different donors, distributing funds on their behalf to specific causes or, through our Grants Programme, to the areas of greatest need.
Grant givers
Guernsey Community Foundation Grants Programme
Our main Guernsey Community Foundation (GCF) Grants Programme provides grants of at least £5,000 to local charities so that significant challenges or needs within the Bailiwick can be addressed.
Grant applications should show how the service or project, if funded, will address a proven area of concern, fill a gap in service provision within the Bailiwick, or improve the way a charity operates so that it can better meet the needs of the community or its service users.
The John Ramplin Charitable Trust
The John Ramplin Charitable Trust was established in 2016 on the instructions of the late John Ramplin. The Trust makes payments to Guernsey-registered charities with a view to improving the health and wellbeing of Bailiwick residents. We manage and administer the grants process for the John Ramplin Charitable Trust. Decisions on funding applications are made by the John Ramplin Charitable Trustees.
Social Investment Fund
The Social Investment Fund is a separately constituted body, acting as a States of Guernsey partner, which uses public and some private funds drawn from a variety of sources to invest in the third sector, helping to build greater partnership and joint working between the States and the third sector.
