NACCOM Funding Your Project Ella Sips – Grant Manager North West 29 th April 2019 @lloydsbankfoundation @LBFEW
Who we are We’re an independent charitable trust funded by Lloyds Banking Group. We partner with small and local charities helping people overcome complex social issues such as mental health, homelessness and domestic abuse. Their size and understanding of the people and local communities they work with means they’re able to make life -changing impact where others can’t. But these charities are under-funded, under pressure and too often ignored. That’s why we’re more than just a funder – we work in partnership with the charities we fund and others who share our vision. We listen, understand and respond to charities, funding them for longer and providing developmental support to help them grow stronger and more sustainable. We influence policy and practice to help charities thrive in the future and to address the root causes and consequences of complex social issues. @LBFEW @lloydsbankfoundation

We fund charities We offer two grant programmes: Invest We know that without money for bills or salaries, you may struggle to deliver your core services. That's why we can provide up to £100,000 over three years, for core costs and/or direct delivery. There’s also potential for continuation funding, so you could receive Invest funding for up to six years in total. Enable Could you deliver services more effectively, increase your sustainability or attract more volunteers and funding? Enable grants can be used to trial new approaches and improve your charity's planning, monitoring, leadership and governance or communications. We can provide up to £15,000 over one or two years. @LBFEW @lloydsbankfoundation
Who do we fund? We understand that sometimes the most life- changing charities may not always look perfect on paper, and we’re not afraid to take risks where we see great potential. We fund charities with proven track records of helping people aged 17+ who are facing complex social issues (see right) to achieve positive change in their lives. We particularly seek to fund charities who recognise that complex social issues are often connected to each other, and therefore offer holistic support around service users' range of needs. The remaining eligiblity criteria relate to your charity's registered status, income and governance, and can be viewed online at www.lloydsbankfoundation.org.uk/wefund @LBFEW @lloydsbankfoundation
