Lincoln Lottery Community Fund 2024
City of Lincoln Council are pleased to announce the launch of the Lincoln Lottery Community Fund for 2024.
The Community Fund has been raised by players of Lincoln Community Lottery who have directly selected the fund as their good cause when purchasing tickets, meaning that 60 pence of every ticket sold through this selection goes directly towards the Community Fund.
Players who have selected to support a specific good cause have also donated 10 pence of each ticket to the Community Fund, meaning that every player of Lincoln Community Lottery has contributed to the £11,335 up for grabs.
During October 2024, a resident consultation took place to identify the two good cause areas where residents would like the £11,335 from the Lincoln Lottery Community Fund 2024 to be allocated to.
The consultation identified the two priority good cause areas as –
- Reducing the impacts of poverty (for example food banks, homelessness)
- Reducing social isolation and loneliness
Good causes operating in one or both good cause areas are now invited to bid for a share of the funding to deliver a specific project or activity that benefits the residents of the City of Lincoln.
‘Good causes’ that are eligible to apply are:
- Constituted groups, with Terms of Reference and a volunteer management committee, which has a minimum of three unrelated members that meets on a regular basis (at least 3 times per year)
- Registered charities, with a board of trustees
- A registered Community Interest Company, and provide copies of your Community Interest Statement, details of the Asset Lock included in your Memorandum and Articles of Association, and a copy of your latest annual community interest report
To be eligible to apply, you must also have a dedicated bank account for the organisation, which requires at least two unrelated signatories to access the funds, and relevant governing documentation, policies and procedures in place.
Applicants will also be required to meet the Lincoln Community Lottery Good Cause Terms and Conditions available here – https://www.lincolnlottery.co.uk/good-causes/terms
Applications must be received by 5pm on Friday 29th November 2024.
