Due to the cuts in funding to LCVS and the wider sector, we have had to take a long hard look at how we will allocate funds over the coming months. In the past we have been able to work with broad criteria for the LCVS Trust funds in particular but the changing times mean that we will now be looking to focus in much more on the community impact of any grants we make. The LCVS Board has set out 4 priority areas for the organisation moving forward and these are:
- Education
- Health and Well Being
- Income Stability
- Community Safety
Our grant making will focus in on these themes and groups should bear in mind that we will only fund activities that can evidence the outcomes for those most in need in Liverpool and Merseyside. The maximum grant is £3,000 but due to the high demand most grants are less than this.
It is important you read the guidance which can be found on the Funding Opportunities page.
For an application form please e-mail colin.heaney@lcvs.org.uk. We will also send you a copy of our monitoring form along with the application form.
The next meeting of the Grants Committee will take place in late September and the deadline for applications is 5pm Monday 12 September 2011.
