Lloyds Bank Foundation gives £5.5m to small specialist charities

Small and local charities can apply for unrestricted grants of up to £75,000, spread over three years, from Lloyds Bank Foundation for England and Wales.

Specialist charities with an annual income between £25,000 and £500,000 can apply for a three-year, unrestricted grant of up to £75,000. The Foundation’s focus is working with small specialist charities tackling complex issues, where its combination of unrestricted funding and capacity building support will have the greatest impact, helping these charities thrive beyond the lifetime of their grant. 

Unrestricted grants from Lloyds Bank Foundation will allow charities complete flexibility to use the funding however they see fit, including to cover salaries, rent and utilities, which have become ever more challenging due to the cost-of-living crisis. Through long-term funding, development support and influencing policy and practice, the Foundation helps charities make a life-changing impact, building a more just and compassionate society.
