Sussex Crisis Fund

 The Sussex Crisis Fund has been set up by Sussex Community Foundation to support community and voluntary sector organisations in Sussex who are leading efforts to support people most affected by the coronavirus outbreak. It is primarily designed to help fund the urgent needs facing communities as the virus affects them and to support for organisations with funding needs to enable them to adapt and respond to the crisis.

Emergency grants of up to £5,000 are offered to charities and community groups which are responding to the immediate crisis in the community and helping those most affected. The fund is also open for applications from Sussex town and parish councils in places where the local voluntary organisations are not able, or need parish council support, to do the work required.

Please email the Grants team at grants@sussexgiving.org.uk for more information or visit www.sussexgiving.org.uk/apply
