The Rye Fund at Sussex Community Foundation was formed in September 2008 and gave its first grants out in November 2009.
The Rye Fund is an endowment fund of which an agreed percentage of the annual interest accrued is used to make grants to charities and community groups that benefit the local community, with an emphasis on improving social, cultural and educational provision, promoting the well-being and viability of the market town of Rye as a sustainable social and economic hub of the surrounding community, and improving and maintaining the built environment of Rye.
Since then,
the Fund has given grants totalling over £35,000.
Last year’s awards went to
groups as diverse as the Camber Community Group; Counselling Plus; Playden WI;
Rother Youth Group; Rye & District Community Transport; Rye & District
Dementia Action Alliance; Rye Harbour Sailing Club; Rye Wurlitzer Academy, and
Rye Museum Association
