As a golf club CGQL raises, through the collective and individual efforts of the members lots of money for local and international charities.

Some of the regular charitable efforts are the Ladies collections of items for children given to the parish of Quarteira, the money raised from the Monday men's roll-up to buy chickens for the social dining centre in Quarteira, and the donations made for larger capital projects from the annual bet on the longest drive at the Captain's Drive-In.
