Lloyds Bank Foundation has launched two new grants programmes, the Racial Equity Programme and the National Influencing Programme. You can see an overview of each below, but for more information about the both grants programme visit the Lloyds Bank Foundation website.
Racial Equity Programme
Deadline for applications: Wednesday 31 May, 5pm
This programme is for small local charities and community interest companies (CICs) with an income between £25,000 – £500,000 working with people who have faced inequity because of their race or ethnicity. Organisations can apply for a three year unrestricted grant of £75,000. Your organisation will be led by the communities you serve and alongside providing immediate crisis support, you will work with people over the longer term to help them break free from poverty and achieve their potential.

National Influencing Programme
Deadline for initial expressions of interest: 19 May, 5pm
This programme provides grants of £30,000 – £150,000 for up to three years, to support charities seeking to influence and achieve change in national policy and practice for people facing complex issues around specific issues within accommodation, social security and refugees and asylum seeker support. The Foundation is particularly interested in initiatives that are led or actively developed by people with lived experience and that seek to address inequalities people face at a structural level.
