The LCVS Community Impact Fund (CIF) is now closed.
In addition to the usual four priority areas (Health and Wellbeing, Education, Income Stability, Arts and Culture), this round will also prioritise funding projects that support Care Leavers.
The definition we use 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.”
For examples of previously funded Care Leaver projects, please find our case studies further below.
We have made some changes to the eligibility criteria for applying for CIF regarding how many times your organisation can apply across the year-to-year grant cycle.
We strongly recommend you read the accompanying grant guidance and/or watch the recording of the Spring CIF workshop before submitting an application, to check if your organisation is eligible to apply for this round.
For any enquiries, please contact: Steph Gregory at Stephanie.Gregory@lcvs.org.uk or Becky Lazare at Becky.Lazare@lcvs.org.uk.
