Do you have clients who want to make a positive impact in their community? We’re meeting more and more people who are passionate about using personal, family or business wealth to take on challenges they see on their doorstep. And with some parts of Sussex among the 10% most deprived areas in England, we know the challenges are there to be solved.
As a professional advisor, you will want to find the most efficient and effective route to achieving your client’s philanthropic goals. And this is where we can help. We partner with professional advisors such as solicitors, accountants and wealth managers, to help their clients invest their resources in the local charities and community groups who need it most and can use it best.
“I have always seen real value in what Sussex Community Foundation has to offer to our clients. The client can set up their own fund with them, which is a very effective way of managing money whilst still being involved in making decisions on grants – but without the admin and the other boring bits.”
We help people with resources to create the lasting, local impact they seek, through grants to Sussex’s network of small, effective charities and community groups.
We’re people who want to make an impact too. Our passionate and motivated staff team has expertise in grant-making, philanthropy, local community needs and finance. They’re overseen by a trustee board of experienced local people, many with legal, financial and professional backgrounds.
Contact our Head of Philanthropy, Stephen Chamberlain, to find out more about how we can help. Or follow us on LinkedIn to read more of our giving stories.
