Lloyds Bank Foundation’s Racial Equity Funding Opens for Application
Small and local charities in England and Wales that are led by and for members of Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic communities can apply for two-year unrestricted grants of £50,000.
The new Racial Equality strand is open to charities with an income of between £25,000 and £1 million.
To be eligible, applicants need to be supporting people from specific minoritised communities to overcome any of the following 11 Complex Social Issues:
- Addiction and dependency on alcohol, drugs and/or gambling
- Asylum seekers and refugees
- Care leavers
- Domestic and sexual abuse
- Homeless and vulnerably housed
- Learning disabilities
- Mental health
- Offending, prison or community service
- Sexual exploitation
- Trafficking and modern slavery
- Young parents
Successful applicants will receive:
- Two-year unrestricted grants of £50,000
- Support from the Foundation’s regional managers who will work with them to access a wide range of organisational development support to help meet identified needs.
The funding is intended for charities that can demonstrate that some of the services they provide are in-depth, holistic, and targeted at a particular Complex Social Issue.
This strand of funding does not support purely second-tier or infrastructure organisations, or organisations whose activities are purely campaigning.
There are no deadlines. Applications will be accepted throughout the year.
