Deadline: 30-Apr-23
Applications are invited for We Love Lichfield Community Fund. It is an endowment fund, and provides funding to community and voluntary organisations across the whole Lichfield district, including in Burntwood and the surrounding villages.
These grants will be awarded to organisations who provide facilities or services for local people. The aim is to enhance the provision of service, provide new services or to help make organisations more efficient or to improve the scope of their provision. This might include extending provision to other people.
Grants from We Love Lichfield can be used for either capital or revenue projects, and can last for up to a year.
