Empowering Sussex: Sussex Community Foundation Raises £2.6M to Ignite Local Change

Sussex Community Foundation is excited to announce a major milestone in its mission to create a thriving Sussex, where people and communities flourish. We're proud to have raised £2,600,000 in our latest funding round—a testament to the unwavering support and shared commitment of philanthropists, investors, business leaders, and volunteers who believe in our vision. Since our founding in 2006, we have united inspirational people with a common purpose: to maximize the impact of local charitable giving. Over the years, we’ve raised an impressive £48 million and granted over £30 million to more than 3,020 organizations across Sussex, each contributing to real, tangible change. This new funding is set to reinforce our dedication to sustainable community support. By building on our already robust endowment fund, currently valued at £24 million, our aim is to ensure that the voluntary sector in Sussex continues to receive essential backing for years to come. The £2.6 million raised will not only bolster ongoing charitable initiatives but also empower new projects that address the evolving needs within our region. These funds will drive innovative programs, support targeted community development, and enhance collaboration among the individuals and groups that are the backbone of Sussex’s progress. At Sussex Community Foundation, our work is more than fundraising—it’s about forging connections with leaders, volunteers, philanthropists, and investors alike to create lasting change. This remarkable achievement underlines our continued commitment to creating a Sussex where everyone thrives, and we look forward to channeling this investment into initiatives that make a profound difference in our local communities.
