Rye is a special place
People come to live in and around Rye because
they love it here
But Rye has its challenges that must be met
Reasons for Setting up the Rye Fund
The Rye Fund would like to keep the best of the old and to encourage new
initiatives which carry the very special quality of Rye into the future.
Together, and with longer term vision, we will be able to improve the
physical, social and cultural amenities of Rye.
Our objectives:
To provide an annual income that will be distributed in grants to
voluntary bodies and charitable organisations for initiatives that
benefit the local community living in and around Rye. Read more
To create a growth fund with interest re-invested and
disbursements being made for specific capital projects concerning
the built environment of Rye. Read more
Making it happen:
A number of local people have come together to establish The Rye Fund -
which has been set up in conjunction with Sussex Community Foundation, an
independent charity, which manages funds and distributes grants on behalf
of donors within Sussex.
Growing the Fund
The Rye Fund has endowments of over £90,000. Whilst the interest on this
sum can generate a useful contribution towards projects planned by local
voluntary organisations, it cannot yet be considered capable of making a
major impact.
We are asking for gifts and bequests to help reach our next target of
£200,000. Will you please help us to build a really worthwhile fund that will
benefit future generations.
