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.


Giving to local charities is an inspiring, highly rewarding way to help your local community.
Sussex is rich with community groups. They bring people together to improve quality of life or address disadvantage. Yet many groups struggle to raise funds, while most public giving goes to large national charities.
Sussex Community Foundation has been created by local people, to support local communities.
We are here to make it easy for you, as a company or an individual, to donate money to local causes. We make sure your donations go where funds are really needed and will make a difference. We also make it easy for community groups to apply for funds.
Sussex Community Foundation is part of the Community Foundation Network which manages permanent funds of £140 million and awards £70 million in grants every year to thousands of community groups. Community Foundations are the fifth largest funder of charities and the fastest growing philanthropic movement in the UK.
With your help, Sussex Community Foundation is building a substantial permanent endowment fund for Sussex that will provide lasting benefit for local communities today and create a brighter future for generations to come.
