1 INTRODUCTION

Jersey Community Foundation (JCF) was established in 2020 in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. Our work was launched with an initial £2 million donation awarded by the Government of Jersey from Dormant Bank Accounts in Jersey – accounts where contact has been lost with the customer after 15 years. Since then, corporate and individual donors have given kindly and generously to the Foundation in order to ensure their money reaches those most in need in Jersey without the need to set up their own charitable structure. The Foundation also benefits from 50% of Lottery Funding and bequests, such as the AA Rayner and Greville Bathe Funds, set-up to help vulnerable Islanders struggling with health and financial issues.

Following Covid-19, and now during the cost-of-living crisis, the Foundation is proving to be crucial in helping the Third and voluntary sectors adapt and thrive during challenging times by providing much-needed funding.

We are excited to share our 2022 Annual Review with you. The breadth and scope of these incredible projects stand testament to the amount of good will, energy, creativity and aptitude that lives within our community. We are proud to have funded each and every one and to have been part of the positive impact they are making in our Island community.
