Sussex Community Foundation

About Sussex Community Foundation

Sussex Community Foundation is a place-based grantmaker focused on strengthening grassroots organisations and community life across Sussex. Its main grants support small charities and community groups tackling poverty, improving health, helping people reach their potential, and acting on climate, while separate funds target specific local needs such as Chagossian communities, Rother district projects, and communities near wind farms. The foundation typically backs practical, locally rooted work with modest awards, often through donor-advised or discretionary funds.
