Since 2014 Essex Community Foundation have been managing the Essex Police Proceeds of Crime Matched Funding Scheme (POCA). Under the Scheme, all donations into the High Sheriff’s Fund or to set up individual charitable funds, can be matched with 50% from the monies we receive from POCA. The only restriction is that the grant making from these Funds must support projects or organisations whose work is contributing to community safety in the county.
To date, the value of the endowed funds set up with support from the POCA Scheme is £1.2 million.
