Funding Information

Funding size: £300 to £10,000

What are the projects they support?

Through their National Lottery Awards for All programme, they are looking to support projects that are responding to the COVID-19 pandemic by:

• supporting organizations to adapt or diversify to respond to new and future challenges
• supporting communities adversely affected by COVID-19
• Supporting communities and organizations to become more resilient to help them to respond better to future crises.
• As part of their COVID-19 response they will support projects that are:
  • Organisations supporting people who are at high risk from COVID-19
  • Organisations supporting communities most likely to face increased demand and challenges as a direct result of measures to prevent the result of COVID-19
  • Organisations with high potential to support communities with the direct and indirect impact of COVID-19

Although they are supporting responses to the pandemic, your project does not have to be related to COVID-19 to be funded. If you are applying for something that is not related to COVID-19, then your project must meet at least one of their usual funding priorities mentioned above.
