GRANTS
Sussex Community Foundation have launched The Sussex Crisis Fund, which has been set up to support the community and voluntary sector in response to the coronavirus outbreak. It is designed to help fund the emerging needs facing our communities and the charities and community groups that support them, at this time. Initially, emergency grants of up to £5,000 are available, and decisions are taking 1-2 weeks. This fund has its own criteria and application form.
The Foreshore Trust have opened the latest round of their funding, with grants of up to £6000, and a deadline of Monday 18 May 2020.
Big Local are offering grants of up to £2,000 for activities that support people in North East Hastings.
The National Lottery Community Fund announced that the funding decisions they make for the next six months (up to £300m of National Lottery funding) will be devoted to addressing the current crisis. In addition, they will accelerate the cash part of this funding, so money gets to where it needs to be.

of emergency funding for organisations
and artists.
Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) has launched this rapid response Fund to help smaller charitable organisations
affected by the impact of Covid-19
