Cheltenham Gold Cup Centenary Community Fund

The Cheltenham Gold Cup Centenary Community Fund has been developed to ensure that the centenary running of Cheltenham Racecourse's greatest race provides a legacy that has a positive impact on those that live and work in the vicinity of the racecourse. The fund is jointly operated between Gloucestershire Community Foundation, the Rotary Clubs of Cheltenham and Cheltenham Racecourse. Various fundraising initiatives continue to be staged and the proceeds from these events and occasions will then be distributed back to good causes and charities that operate in and around Cheltenham area. The fund distributed its first grants in October 2024 and remains open to receive applications for grants of up to £2,000 from organisations working in and based within Cheltenham Borough. Grants will be made from Cheltenham Gold Cup Centenary Fund to support local charitable activity including registered charities, recognised community groups promoting sport, art, music or health and well-being, schools and playgroups, sporting, art or music groups or societies, and other not for profit organisations. Priority is given to organisations working with young people and organisations based within 3 miles and 2 furlongs of Cheltenham Racecourse.
