FUNDING AND DEVELOPMENT
Each year the Trust awards an average of 28 main grants with a total value of around £1.1m. The majority of these are multi-year awards. Eligible organisations are those who are working in our local area (Cumbria and Lancaster District) to improve the life chances, experiences and outcomes for children, young people and adults up to the age of 24.
As of January 2024 all main and small grant applications will be submitted online via our website, using the ‘apply now’ buttons. Please check the information on the application pages for guidance and get in touch if you’re not sure.
To help the sustainability of projects and organisations, we encourage all applicants to approach the Trust at an early stage in their planning cycle.
