A Declaration

The history of Anguilla and its people embraces both a fierce spirit of pride, independence and self reliance
and a deep concern for each other’s welfare and well-being.

Free people giving freely of themselves to help their fellow citizens and doing so in a spirit of joy. Nothing better captures this remarkable dynamic than JOLLIFICATION, the unique term by which Anguillians describe the celebratory act of neighbors coming together to help neighbors.

The formation of The Anguilla Community Foundation signals and confirms that the spirit of jollification has found yet another way to express itself.

The community foundation will enable Anguillians to preserve and enhance the quality of life on our island, to strengthen the viability of non-governmental organizations as well as to foster the creation of new ones and to provide donors with the opportunity and means to fully express their charitable spirit.

What is Anguilla Community Foundation ?

The Anguilla Community Foundation was founded in l999 with the goal of building a permanent collection of endowed funds for the long-term benefit of the Anguilla community.

The Foundation is patterned after community foundations throughout the world. They are created to make grants for community projects in the community served by the Foundation.

The Anguilla Community Foundaiton is govered by a board representing a cross section of the community. Many have been with the Foundation since its inception. Others have more recently joined the Board and they represent a wide range of leaders on on the island.


Giving to the Anguilla Community Foundation enables residents and friends to the island to help support issues and NGOs working to make Anguilla a better place for all its residents. Issues including children and youth, the arts, senior citizens, health have all been a focus of the Foundation.

Since its inception, the Anguilla Community Foundation has raised $115,000 for its endowment fund from which only income will be spend when it reaches a higher total. In order to make grants now, the Foundation has embarked on the ANGUILLA CARES Campaign to raise money to make grants now and in the future. It is our island vision that friends, colleagues and leaders will assist this annual fund raising effort.
