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 Fund signals and confirms that the spirit of jollification has found yet another way to express itself.
The community Fund 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 Fund?
The Anguilla Community Fund was founded in 1999 with the goal of building a permanent collection of endowed funds for the long-term benefit of the Anguilla community.
An initial gift from the Social Security Development Fund* led to the creation of the first endowed fund, now known as the General Endowment Fund.
Today, that Fund has a balance in excess of 1 million U.S. dollars. It has been joined by five other substantial Funds dedicated to specific purposes, plus a broad-based unrestricted AXA Cares Fund devoted to near-term projects.....more
