Since 2006, Sussex Community Foundation has been connecting people who want to make a difference with the local charities and community groups changing lives across Sussex.
Over the past 20 years, we've awarded £40 million in grants to more than 3,500 charities and community organisations, supporting projects that tackle poverty, improve health, help people reach their potential and act on climate.
But our real impact is measured in the people supported, opportunities created and communities strengthened.

Through our philanthropy advice, we help to match our supporters’ aims with the many small, effective local charities offering solutions to local issues.
We use national and local data to focus our impact on four funding priorities where we believe we can make the biggest difference.

Through our four funding priorities, we award grants to hundreds of charities and community groups across a range of causes, in communities all over Sussex. It’s all part of achieving our vision of a fairer, more equal Sussex.
The map below shows a snapshot of recent groups supported. Click to read case studies and hear from the groups themselves about the difference they're making.

Since 2006, we have worked with donors, fundholders and partners to direct charitable giving towards local needs.
Our annual reports provide more detail about our grant-making, finances and the difference our work has made each year.

Whether you want to support a particular issue, give to where your support is most needed or create a lasting fund for future generations, we can help you find a way to give that works for you. Together, we can help create a fairer, more equal Sussex.
