FINAL OPPORTUNITY TO APPLY FOR MANX LOTTERY TRUST FUNDING IN 2021
The deadline is fast approaching to apply for Manx Lottery Trust funding in 2021.
The application deadline is Friday 5th November 2021, just before the Trustees meet for the last time this year to review applications for all grant programmes. There are currently three programmes available:
Community Awards: help to improve communities and the lives of people most in need for amounts between £2,501 and £50,000. This programme is funded by the Manx Lottery Trust as delegated partner of National Lottery Community Fund.
Smaller Grants: a 'light touch' programme with a simple and straightforward application process, aimed at local communities, for amounts between £300 and £2,500. This programme is funded by the Manx Lottery Trust.
Dormant Assets Fund: for charities, community groups, not-for-profits and social enterprises to help them adapt to future challenges, be more financially resilient and have increased skills and capacity. Organisations can apply for up to £50,000 for between one and three years. These funds are distributed by Manx Lottery Trust on behalf of Isle of Man Treasury.
Sarah Kelly, Chairman of the Manx Lottery Trust, said: ‘With less than three weeks to go, the deadline for receiving funding applications is nearing ahead of our final Trustees meeting of the year on Friday 19th November. If anyone has any questions about the applications process, are unsure if they are eligible for funding or wondering which grant programme is most suitable – please get in touch as we’d be more than happy to help.
‘The next opportunity to apply for funding won’t be until the new year, so we’d encourage as many organisations as possible to apply and make the most of the funding available.’
