Our vision is to help make Suffolk a better place for all.
Our mission is to make a measureable difference to Suffolk by connecting Unlike traditional grantmaking trusts and causes that matter with people who care. foundations, we develop lasting partnerships with individuals, families, businesses, public bodies Our values are to be: and trusts. We work together to ensure that acute areas of need in Suffolk are addressed • Compassionate and fair in our purpose compassionately, respectfully and sustainably. • Professional and independent in all our We are committed to deepening levels of engagement in everyone who seeks to change relationships lives and improve futures.
• Open and clear in our communications Nationally, we are one of a family of 48 Our priority is to reach those in most Community Foundations in the UK. With our combined power and shared passion to make need by combining robust evidence with a difference within the communities in which we local service delivery. live, we increasingly influence at the most senior levels and deliver real and meaningful change. mak ou e SU y FF Chairman and ng O i L lp K e a Chief Executive’s Report H b e t We have great pleasure in t
e presenting the Trustees’ Annual
r
p Report and Financial Statements l
a for the year ended 30 June 2016.
c As a funder to the voluntary sector, we are witnessing the very real challenges e
that our local charities and community groups are facing. On the one hand,
f
o the demand for their services continues to increase, and on the other, public
r
sector budget cuts simply means that there is less money available ‘in the A
L system’ to support these services. In addition, according to the National L Council for Voluntary Organisations, 78% of all charitable giving currently goes to the largest 3% of UK charities; it will not surprise you that the national charities’ footprint in Suffolk is very small. However, there is some comfort that in response to this testing situation and with the help of its donors, the Foundation has increased its grantmaking activity by 36% over the past year to £2.44 million. In total, 608 separate grants were awarded to organisations that are tackling difficult social issues and, in so doing, making Suffolk a better and fairer place for us all. James Buckle The need to encourage and direct local generosity and philanthropy to our Chairman local voluntary organisations has never been greater. It is often surprising for our supporters when they find out that so much charitable activity is operating right in the heart of their own community; the number of organisations in this report that have been awarded grants over the past year is testament to that. And yet so many more are operating under the radar. To help increase the profile of this extraordinary activity, this report is accompanied by a companion publication, ‘Shine a Light’, which in turn is part of a wide-ranging project that the Foundation has undertaken to help organisations raise awareness of their services. It is just a glimpse into the world of local charity which we know will both surprise and inspire.
During the past year, we have seen three trustees retire: Claire Horsley, James Dinwiddy and Stephen Fletcher. Their skills and commitment have been greatly valued and appreciated during these formative years and we would like to record our gratitude for their immense contribution.
We also say goodbye to staff members Elizabeth Stephenson and Sue Wright who have retired, and to Rachael Mikulskis, who has moved to the USA following her husband’s relocation to Washington. Once again, we must recognise and thank them for their enormous dedication and input during their time with us.
Finally, we would like to offer our sincere thanks to all our donors, to our staff, volunteers and supporters. Without your support, we would not be able to Stephen Singleton provide the critical grantmaking that benefits so many local people and Chief Executive communities.

26 | SUFFOLK COMMUNITY FOUNDATION Building Sustainable Funds for Suffolk: The Power of Endowment
For over a decade Suffolk Community Foundation has been connecting causes that matter with people who care. At the heart of this work is the continued focus to grow endowment funds. This sustainable approach to giving offers exactly the right mix of matching the charitable interests of the donor with the most pressing needs within the County. Investing in the creation of an endowment fund within the supportive environment of your community foundation allows for a more productive combination of specialist advice and powerfully targeted grant- making. Individuals, Families, Businesses, Community Funds and Giving Circles are already playing a powerful role in delivering sustainable endowment funding for Suffolk’s voluntary sector. We thank all our donors who are already working in partnership with Suffolk Community Foundation to build over 60 individual funds for Suffolk.
