Help shape the future of philanthropy in Jersey
Jersey Community Foundation is leading work with partners to develop Jersey’s first Philanthropy Policy.
The aim is to create an environment in which philanthropy can have greater impact, making it easier to give, improving understanding of local need and strengthening how philanthropy, government and the charitable sector can work alongside one another.
We are currently consulting on the emerging recommendations and want to hear from a broad range of people across the Island.

Introducing the Island Health Fund
Jersey Community Foundation is developing a new Island Health Fund, creating a dedicated route for individuals, families, businesses and charitable trusts to support projects that could improve health and wellbeing in Jersey.
The Fund will bring together philanthropic investment to support ambitious initiatives that enhance and accelerate, rather than replace, publicly funded healthcare.
This could include advanced medical equipment and technology, clinical innovation, enhanced patient facilities and therapeutic environments, community health initiatives, specialist training and pilot programmes testing new approaches to improving health outcomes.
The Fund is in its early stages, with an independent Health Fund Panel being established to help determine future priorities.
