Applications open for Grassroots Grants
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.
For professional advisors
Sussex Community Foundation works with professional advisors to help meet their client’s charitable giving needs.
There is a growing trend towards philanthropy and more people considering major gifts to charity or setting up their own charitable trusts.
More people are in the position of considering disposal of high value assets when they make a will and may be interested in setting up a charitable bequest.
Whether you are a lawyer, accountant or investment advisor you are likely to be asked by clients for advice on the best options for achieving their charitable goals.
We add our expertise to yours to provide a professional service that helps you do more for your clients.
Options Available
Community Foundations provide a range of flexible and cost-effective services to help individuals and companies support local charities. For example:
- A Named Fund which is a simple alternative to setting up an individual Trust or Foundation.
Other giving options include:
Your client may already know what charities they wish to support, or may wish to support a range of causes. Through Sussex Community Foundation they will benefit from a wide network of voluntary and community projects across Sussex and advice on particular areas of need.
