The Rye Fund has been
established to support voluntary and community groups active in the Rye and
District area.
Whether your organisation is just starting up with a new project
or has been going for many years and needs help with running expenses, we would
like to hear from you.
Amounts of grant available
range from £100 to £2000, with priority given to the smaller local groups.
The only criteria for grant applications is that your organisation must actively benefit people living in and around Rye and must have some formal organisation, generally with its own bank account
You can apply for a grant by completing a simple application form from Sussex Community Foundation. You can register for the form by clicking this link and another link to the online form will be sent to your email account. The form is online and may be edited several times before you decide to submit it. You can attach the requested documents to the form before it is uploaded. If you have any questions about the application process, you can contact the Grants team at Sussex Community Foundation at grants@sussexgiving.org.uk .
Once applications have been approved by Sussex Community Foundation they will be passed to the local Panel for their decision.
Applications Review Procedures
At this stage, Grant Applications will be considered on an annual basis. All successful applications will be monitored to highlight benefits to the community. The awards are made annually in November.
Closing dates for applications are generally by the end of October”
