We are now taking applications to the Grassroots Grants Programme from community groups who meet the criteria. The first grants will be made in September.
Apply for Funding
The Foundation awards grants to community and voluntary groups whose work benefits people in East Sussex, West Sussex or Brighton & Hove.
We are particularly interested in supporting smaller community based groups where a small grant can make a really big difference.
Grants can be awarded to any charitable cause that improves the quality of life for people in Sussex.
The Foundation manages a range of funds that have their own priorities and criteria. However the majority share a common application form and assessment process.
The process of grant giving is simple, transparent and accessible whilst also respecting the wishes of donors.
By maintaining an up-to-date knowledge of local communities The Foundation ensures that money is allocated to where needs are greatest. This is a dynamic process that will continue to develop as The Foundation grows.
