About the fund
The Ann Alice Rayner Fund helps Jersey residents who find themselves in financial difficulties and cannot get support through the usual processes.
The fund may also make awards to Jersey charities with similar aims (that are not owned or administered by the Government).
Individuals or charities can apply for one off grants or monthly awards.
The Jersey Community Foundation (JCF) acts as income administrator and makes decisions on distributions from the fund.
