ABOUT THE RYE FUND

The Rye Fund is an Invested endowment fund dedicated to supporting our community for Rye and the Surrounding villages.

Since 2015 Rye Fund has been managed for us by the Sussex Community Foundation (SCF) and will have generated £100,000 of income for local groups in and around Rye. Currently the Fund has a value of £175,000.
