The Southend Fund awards grants to organisations which apply to them through the Essex Community Foundation. The money comes from the interest on the Southend Fund which is controlled and invested by the trustees of the Essex Community Foundation. The money in the Fund is raised by the Southend Fund Development Panel chaired by Peter Croysdill and the grants are awarded by the Southend Fund Grants Panel chaired by Howard Briggs. Applications are accepted from any group which enhances the community whether it be through social assistance, sport, the arts, charity or the myriad of other organisations which contribute to the welfare of the people of Southend-on-Sea.

Grassroots Grants come from government under its Grassroots Scheme. These grants are awarded by the Essex Community Foundation in consultation with The Southend Fund because of the need to respond to the applications as rapidly as possible and satisfy government criteria. For more information go to the Essex Community Foundation website. These awards are integrated with the Southend Fund grants to avoid duplication. This is a three year plan and one year has been completed but The Southend Fund will be there for our children and grandchildren forever.
