The LCVS Community Impact Fund (CIF) is currently closed.
The last funding round opened on Monday 23 September 2024.
For that round, we prioritised funding projects that support Care Leavers and Women (experiencing poverty due to the impact of the cost-of-living crisis).
The definition we used in relation to Care Leavers for the purpose of this grant is: “Young people aged 16 -25, who have recently left the care of the Liverpool City Region Local Authority, or who are preparing to leave care.”
