Call to local charities to apply for a grant from the Lloyds Bank Foundation for the Channel Islands in 2020
Eligible local charities are being encouraged to apply for a grant from the LBFCI next year. New applications will help the Foundation achieve the grant-giving milestone of £20 million since being established and 2020 will be the 35th year that the Foundation has supported charities of all sizes play a fuller role in the community.
Commenting on the opportunity presented to local charities, Foundation Executive Director, Jo Le Poidevin says: “Each year we support incredible organisations of all sizes that help disadvantaged people in our Island communities.
"Where we are different from some foundations is we fund salaries and core operating costs for up to three years. In doing
so we provide valuable breathing space to charities, giving them the time to develop sustainable funding channels. Many charities are unaware that we do this, and we are keen to see applications from those who may not have applied previously as we enter our
milestone year of grant giving.”
LBFCI conducts three rounds of grants each year. Full details of eligibility criteria and how to apply can be found on the Foundation website: www.lloydsbankfoundationci.org.uk/
The next deadline for applications is Friday 31st January
