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: |

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 Initially the Fund will rely on pledges from sponsors and interested individuals to achieve its target of £50,000 start-up. 45% of this sum is already in place. See Ways to donate to help us reach the target. The Fund is a tax effective way of giving by using Gift Aid. Read more |
