The Centenary Fund was launched to celebrate the 100 years of the diocese and to provide a meaningful legacy for future generations.
The Centenary Fund is an endowment fund where the gift forms the legacy and we use the interest to fund projects to encourage and enable churches to better serve the wider community across the Diocese.
The Fund is managed by Suffolk Community Foundation:
The fund aims to support community projects such as making church buildings more accessible to community groups; providing activities for those who are isolated; supporting the work of a parish nurse; organising a learning activity with a local school, or aiding a conservation or environmental project. It will add value to the work already undertaken by the Church of England in partnership with other churches and organisations.
To be eligible for funding, projects must involve an Anglican organisation, for example a Parochial Church Council or church school, but hopefully many projects will feature partnerships with community groups or other churches. Watch the Suffolk Community Foundation website for when to apply for funding.
