Lloyds Bank Foundation for England & Wales opens new grants

The Foundation opened its new grant programmes for registered charities in England and Wales this week. The new strategy and funding programme is investing in charities that support people to break out of disadvantage at critical points in their lives, and promote practical approaches to lasting change. Registered charities and charitable incorporated organisations (CIOs) with an income of between £25,000 and £1 million that are committed to delivering work which breaks or prevents cycles of disadvantage may apply for short and long term grants.

Applications can be made throughout the year to the following programmes:

1. Invest - a flexible, long term core funding programme for charities delivering clear, targeted outcomes for disadvantaged people. These grants are up to £25,000 per year for two or three years, with the opportunity for continuation funding for a further period - up to six years in total.
2. Enable - a smaller and shorter grants programme for charities that have identified clear development needs. This funding aims to help the organisations deliver their mission more effectively. These grants are up to a total £15,000 over two years.

Organisations are expected to be working with people experiencing multiple disadvantage at one of the critical points in their life. Full details can be found on the Foundation’s website.
