Since 2016, we've awarded funding grants to local projects and community groups.
Our Foundation Fund supports projects that:
- Fight social isolation and tackle disadvantage
- Raise aspirations and improve skills
- Improve health and wellbeing
- Support children and young people
Individual Community Foundations manage the fund on our behalf. They oversee the programme and assess all applications.
Each year, there are three rounds of grants. We split grants equally between Sussex, Surrey & Kent. Apply now for your funding.
Our Foundation Fund forms part of our sustainability policy - our Decade of Change.
