About

Sussex Community Foundation brings inspirational people together to create the change Sussex needs. Since 2006, they have raised £70 million and given grants of £36 million to over 3,000 organisations across Sussex, with £26 million in endowment to provide for future generations. The Foundation works for a fairer, more equal Sussex by making grants that address specific community needs, from health and environment to employment and social isolation. They make and strengthen connections between philanthropists, businesses, charity founders and community leaders while focusing on four funding priorities: tackling poverty, improving health, reaching potential, and acting on climate.
